Suffering Saints
‘In Me, you have peace’
Spoke Jesus, God’s Son
‘In the world, tribulation
Be courageous… I’ve overcome’.
Suffering
When confronted by suffering
With reasons unclear
Will we choose to grow better
Or grow bitter, with fears.
Striving, or Resting?
But, if our vision is great
Let us therefore, come boldly
To His throne of grace
To obtain mercy from God
Come wholly rest, in His grace.
Strengthen our Faith
But, if our vision is great
Believe God, is Almighty
Omnipotent, omniscient
Then our faith too, is mighty.
Single-minded?
So, to live for The Master
For His glory and praise
Be faithful, single-minded
Your heart, upward raised.
Shout to the LORD
Make a joyful shout
To the LORD, all the lands!
Serve the LORD, with gladness
Sing before Him, clap hands.
Pursued by God’s Love
So compassionate, loving
So caring, keeps seeking
Speaks into men’s hearts
So, surrender… stop fleeing.
God Allows What He Hates
God allows what He hates
To achieve what He loves
He permits man to sink
That men seek Him above.
Pressing into God
So, draw near to God
Repentant and yearning
Hungering and thirsting
Worshiping, and learning.
Our Sovereign God
The LORD gives, and He takes
He rules, as He will
He is sovereign, all powerful
So be quiet, and still.
