59 Greater Blessings to Bear
When everything seems contrary,
And God withholds sweet rest,
Promises appear unfulfilled
Your faith is put to the test.
So what if everything is wrong?
Is God not answering prayer?
Or is He just offering
Greater blessings to bear.
Usual faith is fine
For usual circumstance
But when it’s the unusual
What should be our stance?
Well, if it seems all’s failed
Or He has left us, alone.
If it’s bread He has offered
He’ll not give us a stone.
So hold fast to your faith,
In fact, witness it grow.
For out of dark experiences
The Lord you’ll better know.
And you can say like Job,
When you feel quite out on a limb,
“Though God may slay me,
“Yet will I trust in Him!”
