GOD IS GOOD

THAT GOD IS GOOD, I QUESTION NOT,
THOUGH GOOD TIMES COME AND GO.
I SEEK TO LOVE HIM MORE EACH DAY,
THROUGH WATERS DEEP, AND SO...

WHEN HEARTACHE COMES, IT ALWAYS WILL,
I BLEED LIKE OTHER MEN.
I TURN MY EYES AND LOOK TO HIM,
AND TRUST HIM ONCE AGAIN.

PLEASE DO NOT THINK THAT I’M NAIVE,
TO SMILE IT ALL AWAY
THE WORD “HEARTACHE” IS VERY REAL,
I FELT IT JUST TODAY.

THAT GOD IS GOOD I QUESTION NOT,
THOUGH TRAGEDY APPEARS.
HE SHOWS HIMSELF THE MOST JUST THEN,
THOUGH MEN MAY MOCK AND SNEER.

“A SOVEREIGN GOD,” I HEAR THEM SAY,
“HOW CAN YOU TRUST IN THIS?”
YET VALLEYS DARK AND TERRIBLE,
ARE WHERE HIS LOVE THEY’LL MISS.

A SOVEREIGN GOD, THIS COMFORTS ME,
IN HIM I DARE TO TRUST.
THAT GOD WHO RULES THE UNIVERSE,
IS LOVING, TRUE AND JUST.

HE HAS NOT LOST HIS GRIP, YOU SEE,
THOUGH MY EYES MAY NOT SEE.
HOW CAN THIS PAIN, THIS AWFUL PAIN,
BE CRAFTED JUST FOR ME?

I CHOOSE TO TRUST HIS LOVING HANDS,
ARE MOLDING, SHAPING ME.
HE’S WORTHY OF THAT TRUST, YOU SEE,
NO MATTER WHAT MAY BE.
