Are you passing through a testing,
Is your pillow wet with ears?
Do you wonder what the reason.
Why it seems God never hears?
Why it is you have no answer
To your oft-repeated plea.
Why the heaven still is leaden
As you wait on bended knee?

Do you wonder as you suffer,
Whether God does understand,
And if so, why He ignores you,
Fails to hold you in His hand?
Do black doubts creep in, assail you.
Fears without, and fears within,
Till your brave heart almost falters
And gives way to deadly sin?

All God's testing have a purpose --
Some day you'll see the light.
All He asks is that you trust Him.
Walk by faith and not by sight.
Do not fear when doubts beset you,
Just remember -- He is near;
He will never, never leave you,
He will always always hear.

Faithful is He who has promised,
He will never let you fall.
Daily will the strength be given
Strength for each and strength for all.
He will gladly give you peace,
Till your tired and weary body
Finds its blessed, glad release.

When the darkened veil is lifted,
Then, dear heart, you'll understand
Why it is you had to suffer.
Why you could not feel His hand
Giving strength when it was needed,
Giving power and peace within
Giving joy through tears and trial,
Giving victory over sin.

So till then just keep on trusting,
Through the sunshine and the rain
Through the tears and through the heart-aches,
Through the smiles and through the pain --
Knowing that our Father watches,
Knowing daily strength He'll give,
Victory for each passing hour,
This is life, so let us live!
