In Bitter Troubles, Joy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This life is not an easy thing,

It wasn’t meant to be,

But with the troubles that we face

We also find mercy.

 

We struggle through the bitter times,

We weep, we quake with fear,

Without once pausing to recall

That He is always near.

 

He waits to answer when we call.

We cannot go so far

That He won’t hear a heartfelt prayer

And find us where we are.

 

It doesn’t matter the troubles

That this life makes us face,

For He will always hold us close

And lift us in His grace.

 

This life will never be easy,

But when it’s cold and grim,

Remember help is within reach

When you reach out to Him.

 

Psalm 71:20

Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up.
