Finding Joy In Our Trials

Yes, do count it all joy
In the midst of your trials
God is working, to produce
Active endurance, as He disciples.

Not by our own efforts
Our flesh, cannot conquer
We need Jesus’ power
Without Him, we falter.

And as a branch, in His vine
Jesus tells us, keep abiding
To bear fruit, of God’s Spirit
His ‘Self-control’, He is providing.

My body, His temple
For worship and praise
Released from my prison
To new life, am raised.

For if ignoring, or ignorant
Of God’s truth and reality
We’re poorly armed in the fight
Against temptation, so face calamity.

We daily crucify our flesh
As we abide, in Christ Jesus
Resolve to live, but by God’s Word
Assured God’s Spirit, is ever with us!

So do rejoice, evermore
And pray without ceasing
In everything, give thanks
This is God’s will, unceasing.

“Not by might, nor by power
But by My Spirit” says the LORD
So that His will, be done
We then see, blessings poured.

Fully trusting God’s promises
With obedience to His word
Being steadfastness in prayer
By circumstances, undeterred.

Set our mind, on things above
Tho’ still suffering, not healed
Be not focused, on our feelings
Walk by faith, in our ordeal.
