If not for the pain
I’d never know healing
If not for the tears
I’d never know kneeling
If not for the ache
I’d never know feeling
And so I will thank you for pain….
If not for the shadows
I’d never know light
If not for the battle
I’d not know how to fight
If not for my weakness
I’d not know Your might
So I thank You for the shadows….
If not for the trials
I’d not know relief
If not for the angst
I’d never know peace
If not for the doubt
I’d not know belief
And so I thank You for trials….
Each thing that I dread
Only leads me to You
You show me its counterpart
You show me what’s true
You make beauty from ashes
In all that You do
And so I thank You…for You….
Romans 8:28 – And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
