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.

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

The LORD gives, and He takes
He rules, as He will
He is sovereign, all powerful
So be quiet, and still.

Our Master Craftsman ceases not
With skillful hands of love
To weave our lives, to that of Christ
Sat glorified above.

So be not downcast
Our heavenly Father above
Ever faithfully outpours
His unchanging love.

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

May Your glory come down
That multitudes may see
LORD God, open eyes
Let more captives go free.

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.

If God, feeds the birds
Then, O how much more
He values our lives
Rich blessings, in store.
