AND YET………

How could the Lord allow such pain as I am going through?
Is this His way to punish me for things I say or do?

I feel as if an elephant is sitting on my chest,
And wonder how these things I face could be, for me, His best.

And yet I know He’ll give me strength and His unchanging grace,
So I can have the courage for each problem that I face.

He knows how very weak I am, and that I’m never brave,
But still He paid the price for all my sins, my soul to save.

So I’ll keep feasting on His Word, and clinging to His Hand,
Until some day His perfect will I’ll know and understand.
