Suffering Saints

‘In Me, you have peace’
Spoke Jesus, God’s Son
‘In the world, tribulation
Be courageous… I’ve overcome’.

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.

Not to let God’s Word
Depart from their heart
But, teach to their offspring
Be diligent, to guard.

So, we lift every hurt
Release all, to Him
Now laid upon Christ
Walk in grace, not sin.

The verdict is in
And, ‘self’ has to die
Against our carnal cravings
Long deceived, by a lie.

So repent and return
Submit to God, full of favor
Desires only our good
Obey Christ, as your Savior.

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.
