Sufferings Bring Out Gold

While trav’ling through this world below

There will be suffering, pain and woe,

But we need never to lament

Though life is wounded, bruised or bent.

For God can take the greatest pain,

Which suffering brings, and make a gain;

It never needs to be a waste:

For its encompassed by His grace.

Our sufferings are but moments brief,

Though in time’s flash there’s no relief:

For up in glory we shall know

The “whys” of suffering, here below.

For pain and suffering brings out gold,

Revealing treasures so untold;

It can exalt God’s endless grace,

As we midst pain His love embrace.

When Jesus Christ is by our side

We can rejoice though pain has cried:

For He will carry safely through,

With everlasting arms so true!

So don’t despair midst pain intense:

For God’s rich grace is so immense;

It bears eternal riches rare,

Which as joint-heirs, with Christ we’ll share!

- Keturah
