You tell us we need to take joy in trial of any kind
Even cancer?
Even divorce?
You tell us we need to take joy in trial of any kind
When my love one dies?
When they leave me for someone else?
You tell us we need to take joy in trial of any kind
Even war?
Even in hate?
You tell us we need to take joy in trial of any kind
when my family betrays me?
When I lose my job?
You tell us we need to take joy in trial of any kind
Even my dreams die?
Even when my child is taken away?
You tell us we need to take joy in trial of any kind
When the flood waters rise?
When the bank account is empty?
You tell us we need to take joy in trial of any kind
Even when my car breaks down?
Even if to follow your will it require a hard change?
You tell us we need to take joy in trial of any kind
Even if a compliment feel more like a slap?
Even if I have a disability?
You tell us we need to take joy in trial of any kind
When my child is born different?
When stress strangles?
You tell us we need to take joy in trial of any kind
Even if the roller coaster is never ending?
Even when I’m floating at sea?
You tell us we need to take joy in trial of any kind
When all around me is dark valleys?
When there is nothing positive?
You tell us we need to take joy in trial of any kind
Even if the cards are stacked against me?
Even if you throw a curve ball?
You tell us we need to take joy in trial of any kind
When the bills never end?
When the hurt is hard to be forgiven?
You tell us we need to take joy in trial of any kind
Even if the sickness never heals?
Even if my world is crashing down?
You tell us we need to take joy in trial of any kind?
Psalm 119:130 (New Living Translation) The teaching of your word gives light, so even the simple can understand.
