Blessed.
It's sometimes very difficult,
for us to understand
the wisdom and the love behind
the things that God has planned.
But we wouldn't have the rainbow,
if we didn't have the rain;
We wouldn't have known the pleasure,
If we never tasted pain.
We wouldn't love the sunrise,
if we haven't felt the night.
And we wouldn't know our weakness,
If we hadn't sensed God's might.
We couldn't have the springtime
or the yellow daffodil
If we hadn't experienced
The winter's frosty chill
And though the brilliant sunshine
is something God has made.
He knew too much could parch our souls
so He created shade.
So God's given us a balance:
Enough joys to keep us glad,
Enough tears to keep us humble,
Enough good to balance bad.
And if you'll trust in Him you'll see
And if you'll trust in Him you'll see
Though yesterday brought sorrow,
The clouds will part and dawn will bring
