Suffering-God’s Path to Blessings

In Jesus’ suffering, God’s path
To bless fallen man
In His cross, our daily dying
God has shown us, His plan.

‘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.

But, if our vision is great
Believe God, is Almighty
Omnipotent, omniscient
Then our faith too, is mighty.

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

So, our God allows trials
That our faith be tenacious
Great faith, be made complete
To be perfected, need patience.

And beyond death, life eternal
Before His glory, we’ll be
Assured, forever with Jesus
O how blessed, are we!

So, we likewise must repent
Of rebelling, and sleeping
We should rather, seek God
Not self-serving, but reaping.

To be fuel, for Your fire
May this light, burn bright
As a beacon of hope
So lost souls, find sight.
