Faith amidst Trials

For our testing and trial
Are to strengthen our trust
As He bids us, to believe
All to Him, entrust.

His purpose is cleansing
Like gold refined pure
That our lives, should reflect
His glory, yet more.

So our suffering and pain
Become stepping stones
Believe God has His purpose
To draw nearer, to His own.

Do count it all joy
When trials fall your way
For the testing of faith
Builds patience, each day.

And there, no more pain
Soon glory, and splendor
God’s presence and peace
His kingdom, forever.

And while God offers good
Temptation brings evil
Understanding our choice
Be His righteous people.

Therefore, welcome your trials
Your waiting, and suffering
Since God is perfecting
Become His fragrant offering.

‘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.

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