Thank you Lord for trials

Though through the darkness I may not see

The purpose of this valley

You have cut out for me

Teach me not to murmur, Lord

But fill my lips with praise

Let faith arise above the floods

To each one a standard You’ll raise

Every Christian has an “ash heap”, Lord

But in the end this answer he gives,

“I know, that I know, that I know,

That my Redeemer lives”

Moses had his murmurers

Noah had his scoffers

Abraham had his test in the flesh

But they were all overcomers

They are among the cloud of witnesses

Telling me, “You too can make it!

Just buckle your armour tighter

Follow the leading of the Holy Spirit”

Thank you for exemplars, Lord

You have given the victory

Knowing that I cannot fail

‘Cause You’ve set my course for me

Thank You, Lord!
