Smile amidst Trial
When my heart is heavy,
When the day is gray,
When the clouds hover
On a dark stormy day,
When challenges face,
When trials are near,
When I feel in my heart
A sense of fear,
I call on Your Name,
And to me You run,
Your face more radiant
Than the midday sun.
You lift me up,
You hold me tenderly,
You remind I am Yours
For all eternity,
“What have you to worry,
My child, My friend?
Remember My love for you
Has no end.”
“It matters not
If it does rain or shine,
You are always in My care
Perfect and divine.”
“So let Me wipe your tears,
Let me hold you near,
To My heart forever
I hold you dear.”
“No challenge, no storm,
Can stop My love for you;
I love you always,
Know this to be true.”
And as You say this,
I feel my heart smile,
Yes, I can feel pure joy
Even amidst trial.
For You are with me,
Never will You leave,
So I need not ever worry,
I need not ever grieve.
When the trials come,
I am closer to Your heart,
For You cling to me tighter
So that we never part.
Yes, my heart will be light
Even when the day is gray,
For I am with You, Jesus,
I rejoice in Your way.
