Loving may mean Suffering
While not seeking, to suffer
We must lift Jesus, high
Wholly trust Him, and know
Sufficient grace, He’ll supply.
Lessons from Job
Will we worship God
No matter the cost
Always honor the LORD
Whatever the loss?
Jesus was Persecuted
So, saint as you suffer
See Jesus, on His throne
Despite pain, persecution
In Him, you’re not alone.
Troubles, Tribulation, Torture or Death
And are we offering our help
Pleading often, in prayer
Are we giving finances
Help meet needs, and care?
Hope Amidst Darkness
So, continually hope
For God is our trust
Our hiding place, refuge
Our sure future, in Jesus.
Healing Our Land
God offers a promise
If His people will pray
And humble ourselves
Walk in His way.
Heal Our Land
Our values and virtues
Keep slipping and sliding
An ungodly attack
Redefining, undermining.
God’s School of Suffering
His grace, always sufficient
His power, perfected in weakness
By faith, we’re made strong
In Christ Jesus, completeness.
God’s Grace to Endure
God’s pathways, to blessings
Are not comfort and ease
But God guides through trials
So stay faithful, and believe!
Facing the Furnace
As Daniel, and friends
Faced a fierce, fiery furnace
Said “Our God, can deliver
And if not, we still serve Him”.
