Suffering

When confronted by suffering
With reasons unclear
Will we choose to grow better
Or grow bitter, with fears.

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.

So, to live for The Master
For His glory and praise
Be faithful, single-minded
Your heart, upward raised.

Make a joyful shout
To the LORD, all the lands!
Serve the LORD, with gladness
Sing before Him, clap hands.

In scripture and song
In prayer, listen too
Expect to meet God
He is waiting for you.

So, ponder sin’s price
Such suffering, separation
Jesus’ death on a cross
For His own creation.

Does God have a purpose
In suffering and pain
Sorrow and sickness
Can He turn to gain?

As His sacrifice, living
Must be holy, and pure
For we dare not present
If defiled, and impure.

So, draw near to God
Repentant and yearning
Hungering and thirsting
Worshiping, and learning.

But God is the LORD
So be patient and wait
He will answer on time
He’s not early, nor late.
