Power of Pain
(Send as an Inspirational Christian e-card!)
A power to pain
Our LORD does give
Graciously to help
This life we live
In a fallen world
Of suffering great
Glory our pain
Can yet create
For God transforms
The cross to the crown
And uplifts the hearts
That are cast down
We see then value
In tears we do sow
To reap eternal joy
Beyond all we know
Seek pain, no, but
Embrace when it is near
For God doles it lovingly
Yes, this is clear
He knows what it is best
For our ultimate good
He knows how to mold
As we never would
Comforting it is then
To know that pain
Will yield sweet flowers
After the falling rain
So rejoice in all things
Even in trial
Trust in God’s love
Sing and smile
Eternal and precious
Treasures do await
Beyond the pearly doors
Of Heaven’s Gate
And dishearten not
When pain you find
Brief it is and soon
To be left behind
Fix your eyes instead
On the crown in store
Focus on Heaven
Each day more
For a power to pain
Our LORD does give
Graciously to help
This life we live
