FAITH MORE VALUABLE THEN GOLD
His perfect love embraces me,
He never lets me go.
Even when I fail him,
His love for me still flows.
In times of trial and testing
I stumble and fall away.
As the darkness surrounds me,
I turn to Him and pray.
I remember that he alone is
the pearl of great price.
Nothing can compare with him,
and having His love in my life.
I pray for Him to guide me
and listen for His voice,
He renews me once again,
filling me with his peace and joy.
I look back to discover
He was there all along,
the trials and the dryness,
He allowed only for so long.
I feel I could live without them
and be happier, you see –
But in His wisdom he tells me
He knows what’s best for me.
In the Bible He reminds me
In 1 Peter Chapter 1,
that trials come so that my faith
can become more strong.
In James 1 God’s Word tells me
to rejoice in my trials once again.
The testing of my faith develops perseverance,
and God teaches me so much through them.
So, unlike this world teaches,
in my trials and sufferings I rejoice,
for I know they have a greater value,
when I listen to His voice.
