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.

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

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

For what are you grasping
And groping in life
Is it riches and comfort
Success, without strife?

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

For in Him, resurrection
We arise from the dead
To an inheritance, incorruptible
That for us, waits ahead.

… So, learn from God’s Word
God knew the injustice
With compassion, called Moses
Shared His plan, discussed this.

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

Offer all, at His altar
Our bodies, He purchased
As living sacrifices, holy
Well pleasing… our service.
