LIFE HURTS, GOD HEALS

We wouldn’t know God’s faithfulness
if we never had a need;
We wouldn’t know His answers
if we did not intercede.

We wouldn’t know God’s promises
if we chose not to believe;
We wouldn’t know His fullness
if our hearts did not receive.

We wouldn’t know God’s comforting
if we never shed a tear;
We wouldn’t know His preciousness
if we didn’t have Him near.

We wouldn’t know God’s victory
if we never faced a test;
We wouldn’t know His peacefulness
if He didn’t give us rest.

We wouldn’t know God’s mighty strength
if we were never weak;
We wouldn’t know His counsel
if we failed to hear Him speak.

We wouldn’t know God’s fruitfulness
if we had never grown;
We wouldn’t know His wondrous ways
if we laboured on our own.
