When Trials Come

Keith and Kristyn Getty have written and sung many songs that have become some of my favorite hymns. Stewart Townsend wrote the lyrics of this one. Here is one of their newest.


When trials come no longer fear
For in the pain our God draws near
To fire a faith worth more than gold
And there His faithfulness is told
And there His faithfulness is told

Within the night I know Your peace
The breath of God brings strength to me
And new each morning mercy flows
As treasures of the darkness grow
As treasures of the darkness grow

I turn to Wisdom not my own
For every battle You have known
My confidence will rest in You
Your love endures Your ways are good
Your love endures Your ways are good

When I am weary with the cost
I see the triumph of the cross
So in it's shadow I shall run
Till He completes the work begun
Till He completes the work begun

One day all things will be made new
I'll see the hope You called me to
And in your kingdom paved with gold
I'll praise your faithfulness of old
I'll praise your faithfulness of old

I get very tired of the cost...many questions come to mind. How long, O, Lord? When will you hear and answer? But as the song says, I must look to the cross and fall in its shadow. I pray this for you, too.
