Rain and Trials

Sometimes the bright sky turns to grey. 

And the day seems dark and dreary, 

No sunshine seems to light your way, 
And your heart is sad and weary.

  Rain falls so heavily at times, 

And of't we cannot see, 

Why the dreams we had hoped for, 

Are suddenly made to flee. 

But then, there comes the rainbow, 

God's promise in the sky, 

Someday, someday, we'll understand, 

And know the reason why. 

The dark clouds are as needful, 

As the skies of cheerful blue, 

To accomplish God's own perfect will;

His promises are true.

For He hath said that, all things, 

Work together for our good, 

To them that love Him...

 Oh! let us then please Him, as we should!

 He does know what is best for us, 

And although the way seems dark, 

God has given refuge from life's storms, 

As He did for Noah, in the Ark. 

In Jesus Christ our Hope is found, 

He is Light, our Strength, the Way, 

Be still and know that He is God, 

Oh, rest in Him today! 

Be still, and know that I am God:  I will be exalted among the heathen,  

I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10
