Song to the Lord

God never moves, without purpose or plan,
When trying a servent or molding a man.
Give thanks to the Lord, though your testing seems long,
In darkness He giveth a song.

Oh rejoice in the Lord,
He makes no mistakes,
He knoweth the end of each path that I take,
For when I am tried and purified,
I shall come forth as gold.

I could not see through the shadows ahead,
So I looked at the face of my Saviour instead,
I bowed to the will if the master that day,
And peace came and tears fled away.

Oh Rejoice in the Lord...

Now I can see, testing comes from above,
God chasens His children, and purges in love,
My Father knows best, and I trust in His care,
Through purging more fruit I will bear.


Oh Rejoice in the Lord...
-Ron Hamilton



Dear God, we sing this song, knowing that what you do is good, and just and true. We don't always feel what we are saying in this song, but we sing it in faith.

Our prayers are with you. I hope you can find comfort in knowing that your little one is truly one of God's children. Jesus said "let the children come to Me.' and in this you can be sure he will care for her.
