Seeing Our Sin
So, ponder sin’s price
Such suffering, separation
Jesus’ death on a cross
For His own creation.
Purpose in Pain
Does God have a purpose
In suffering and pain
Sorrow and sickness
Can He turn to gain?
Purified by Fire
As His sacrifice, living
Must be holy, and pure
For we dare not present
If defiled, and impure.
Pressing into God
So, draw near to God
Repentant and yearning
Hungering and thirsting
Worshiping, and learning.
Prayer and Patience
But God is the LORD
So be patient and wait
He will answer on time
He’s not early, nor late.
Passing Through the Waters
God assures we shall pass
Yes, thru’ deep waters go
But He will be with us
They shall not overflow.
Overcoming Temptation
And so, love not the world
Nor selfishness, greed
Seek God’s glory alone
Let His Spirit, always lead.
Our Busyness or God’s Presence?
So, one thing most needed
Amidst our busyness, each day
To surrender, keep calling
Asking LORD, show the way.
No more Sickness, nor Suffering
As we worship our King
No distractions, nor despair
No trials, nor temptations
All perfect splendor, forever there.
Manna for Today
Whether food for your table
Or wisdom for the day
Strength and hope, midst trials
Trust God, and obey.
