Does the theme song from The Great Escape count? It doesn’t have any lyrics, but it is a catchy tune...

[Tanniker Smith]

I'll wait to see what others say before I chime in here ...
So many to choose from ... and I really can't think of a good one off the top of my head ...

The funniest movie song of all time: “Springtime for Hitler”.

[DryFly]

My vote would have to go to Promentory, which is the song that plays to a crescendo during the last 10+ minutes of Last of the Mohicans. The scene, the whole movie, would be nothing without it.

When We Don’t Know What To Say

ODB RADIO: Listen Now | Download

READ: Job 6:1-14

To him who is afflicted, kindness should be shown by his friend. —Job 6:14

Roy Clark and his father sat in the family car in the funeral home parking lot for several minutes. As a teenager, he wasn’t sure how to respond when his dad put his head in his hands and moaned, "I don’t know what to say!"

A friend from their church had been in a car accident. She had survived, but her three daughters had all died when a truck hit their vehicle. What could they say to their friend at a time like this?

In the Bible we are told that during Job’s time of grieving, his three friends came to mourn with him and to comfort him. For the first 7 days they sat and wept with him because he was in deep sorrow (Job 2:11-13). "No one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great" (v.13). Their presence alone was a comfort to him.

But then they began to lecture. They told Job he must have sinned and that God was punishing him (4:7-9).

When Job was finally able to respond, he told his friends what he needed from them. He asked for reasons to continue hoping (6:11), for kindness (v.14), and for words that did not presume guilt (vv.29-30).

Remembering the story of Job and his friends may help us when we don’t know what to say. 

Lord, give me sensitivity
To people in their grief and pain,
To weep with them and show Your love
In ways mere words cannot attain.  —Sper

When someone’s grieving—listen, don’t lecture.

Bible in One Year:   Isaiah 53-55; 2 Thessalonians 1
