Purpose in Pain

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.

By His stripes, we are healed
Jesus’ death, on the Cross
Now delivered from judgment
He paid the full cost.

How great is our God
Our triumphant King
Let all heaven shout
His praises loud sing.

Thro’ His Spirit, God gives
In His people, are sown
Differing talents and gifts
That His glory, be known.

Stepping down out of heaven
To redeem fallen sinners
Those helpless and hopeless
Turns losers, to winners.

Never alone
No, never alone
As a child of the King
You are His own.

Whether food for your table
Or wisdom for the day
Strength and hope, midst trials
Trust God, and obey.

The greatest duty
Placed upon man
Love the Lord, your God
‘Tis the greatest command.
