Oh, dear Lord, I pray:
I’m fitting into Your PLANS for me, *
Don’t let me keep Your Love away *
but keep me praying on my knee.
I must never forget
what You suffered for me,
To bring me Salvation
so rich & full & free.
Suffering for Christ *
is a ‘privilege’ you see,
teaches us to wait ~ ‘patiently’! *
‘Confident’ He’ll make a way
through the dark into ‘light of day’.
Looking ‘beyond’ that trial & trouble
learning to “Praise Him” ~ on the double!
* Rom.8:28; Rom.8:35-39; Acts 14:22; Rom.8:25. 7/26/96
