Give Thanks
It hurts, it really does.
From the inside it hurts.
But i don't know how to explain it!
It's so painful but i was just being obedient.
Did i sense it wrongly?
Was it my heart that has misled me?
It seemed impossible and i pushed Your thoughts aside.
It came back and i obeyed
Lord, it was totally unexpected.
Unexpectedly painful.
I wonder why i even tried it!
Thinking of it makes me laugh.
Though the after-taste brings about tears
Yes. It can't just end here can it?
The question however, is this. "What now?"
I give You thanks.
I consider it all joy to encounter various trials.
Trials of poverty, trials of prosperity.
Trials of the heart, trials of the mind.
I still do not know what i will learn from this but one thing's sufficient.
Your grace is sufficient for me.
You are a great God (Hear some "Amens" here)
What more can i say?
I thank You Lord.
You are sovereign!
When i don't know what i'm doing.
You do.
When i don't know what's happening.
You do.
So i trust in You.
I love You, Lord.
I really do.
I may not understand what it meant in the past.
But i do now Father. I really do.
Though my body lies in tears,
My spirit is lifted.
Though my heart is pricked,
My eyes will never lose sight of You.
So i give thanks with a grateful heart
For what can ever match up to the love of God
who sent Christ down for us?
