trials

by Claytia Doran

No matter what trials come our way,
God will see us through each day.
If only we'll put our trust in Him,
The light of His love will never dim.

Don't ever think that He's forgotten you.
It's just, sometimes, we need a test or two.
For, we'll never be able to help our brother
If we're not tested, one way or another.

Never ask the Lord for an easy road
But only for strength to carry your load.
For, through your sorrows, you will find
The Lord is with you. He's loving and kind.

And, when your trials have all gone away,
'I've been there, too,' is what you can say.
For, there'll be times when someone you meet
Will praise God to walk in the steps of your feet.
