Suffering
If we suffer for the sake of Christ,
Our Lord rains more love down.
He knows that life on earth is hard,
He wore a throne filled crown.
He suffered death so we could live,
He paid a price so high.
So that although our life is hard,
We'll never have to die.
He knows our struggles, everyone,
He lived here among men.
He knows the trials that we face,
The pains we face again.
He never promised an easy life,
But one thing that is true.
We do not have to walk alone,
He's always here for you.
When we have Jesus in our lives,
His strength He'll freely give.
And when our lives turn upside down,
He shows us how to live.
He only asks that we faith,
Accept and then believe.
Then He can fill our lives with joy,
Even in the time we grieve.
Though suffering will come to you,
In time they'll go away.
But if you feel to weak to walk,
Just bow to God and pray.
His death is proof that He loves you,
He'll never leave your side.
He longs for you to run to Him,
For His arms are open wide.
So praise His name and do His will,
No matter what you face.
And when your life on earth is through,
You'll feel His sweet embrace.
He'll say, I love you my dear child,
You suffered yet you won.
And all of heavens reward's are yours,
For a job well done.
When I think of that I feel such joy,
This pain will one day leave.
I'll live in heaven with my Lord,
If on earth I just believe.
While I'm down here I'll just trust Him,
Each of my days are planned.
And someday when my life is through,
I'll hold my Savior's hand.
