WHEN THE TRIALS COME

When the trials come in my life
I should ask, "Why?"
But I don't
Cause I know He permits them

When the trials come in my life
I should say, "I am tired"
But I don't
Cause I know He examines me

When the trials come in my life
I should scream, "No!!!"
But I don't
Cause I know He values every step I have made

When the trials come in my life
I should run away
But I don't
Cause they never go away

When the trials come in my life
I should not care
But I don't
Cause they are the part of my life

When the trials come in my life
I just say, "Please, help me!!"
"Please, give me the strength to face it"
"Please, give me Your hand to lift me up"
"I can not stand without You"
"Please, don't go!!!"
"Be with me!"

When finally I see the sun rises
I know what He means
I know what He has planned
He wants me becomes better and better
As a candle, a light giver
Then I hear He says, "Well done, My child"
"Peace be with you"
