Faith amidst Trials

For our testing and trial
Are to strengthen our trust
As He bids us, to believe
All to Him, entrust.

For His love in Christ Jesus
Our Lord, is love eternal
We are forever, in His hand
More than secure, His love encircles.

Are we humble and lowly
Or proud, self-serving
Are exalting ourself
Or submissive, subserving?

Are so weary of self
All the efforts you make
Self-reliance, self-ambitions
All fleshly, vain mistakes.

Jesus taught how to be
In our attitudes, our nature
What to strive for, as goals
Become like our Creator.

So, acknowledge our blame
Whenever, we succumb
To wrong lusts, and desires
Repent, seeking God’s Son.

He shall be like a tree
Planted by rivers of water
Brings forth fruit, in its season
Whose leaf shall not wither.

With my heart, ever hungry
Am so thirsty Lord, for You
So desiring, Your Presence
Your Word, is ever true.

Let my cry come
Before You, O LORD
Give me understanding
According to Your Word.

For I rejoice at Your word
As one finding, great treasure.
I hate, and abhor lying
But love Your law, my greatest pleasure.
