When dark clouds obscure HIS Face,

Hold HIS hand, HE’s in that place.

When HIS voice can not be heard,

Over the roar of trouble stirred,

Don’t let go, don’t give up – HE is GOD, HE keeps HIS Word!

 

 

When mountains loom before you,

And your feet feel shackled too,

Lift your weary arms in praise,

And your wavering voice do raise,

HE sits enthroned upon those mountains and your grief will HE erase!

 

 

When the thunder and the lightning pursue you on your way,

Remember HE is LORD of night and KING of every day,

HE will fulfil HIS promise – HE honours every Word HE says!

Every tear that’s cried, every heart that breaks,

HE bore upon HIS shoulders, for your sorrow HIS heart aches.

 

 

Do not forget HIS greatness in the face of suffering,

This GOD who is your SAVIOR, FATHER and your SOVEREIGN,

Let your aching heart adore HIM – joy to HIS heart bring!

For HE will make a way where no ways to be found,

HE will bring you through – victorious your sound!

 

 

 

thought for the journey …..

Job 23:8-11 “Look, I go forward, but HE is not there, and backward, but I cannot perceive HIM; when HE works on the left hand, I cannot behold HIM; when HE turns to the right hand I cannot see HIM. But HE knows the way that I take; when HE has tested me, I shall come forth as gold. My foot has held fast to HIS steps; I have kept HIS way and not turned aside.”

 

…..“but HE knows”…. what words of comfort, what words of hope - HE knows!

Just because we don’t always know what is going on, what is happening, or even ‘why’, does not mean our Glorious LORD is in the dark, taken by surprise or overwhelmed by what we may be facing - quite the reverse! HE knows ALL, HE sees ALL - and HE is working to HIS master plan, to bring us forth as gold!

Trust does not mean we know all the answers, but it does mean we know HIM who is The Answer! We know HIS power and HIS goodness - HE is in control!

 

Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love GOD, to those who are called according to HIS purpose.”

 

 Like Job, let us cling to our SAVIOR, holding fast to HIS steps & refusing to turn away, aside - regardless of the trials & challenges life and people may hurl at us, trusting in HIM, in WHO HE is! GOD! Good! Omnipotent, Omniscient & Omnipresent!
