O Rejoice In The Lord

Today I just want to share some song lyrics with you. It has been on my mind a lot that when God allows suffering in our lives He is allowing us the chance to become more like Him. I want to emerge from my trials “as gold” - strong and beautiful with a purpose. I hope these lyrics are a blessing to you today!

God never moves without purpose or plan
When trying His servant and molding a man.
Give thanks to the Lord though your testing seems long;
In darkness He giveth a song.

O rejoice in the Lord.
He makes no mistake.
He knoweth the end of each path that I take.
For when I am tried and purified,
I shall come forth as gold.

I could not see through the shadows ahead,
So I looked at the cross of my Savior instead.
I bowed to the will of the Master that day.
Then peace came and tears fled away.

O rejoice in the Lord.
He makes no mistake.
He knoweth the end of each path that I take.
For when I am tried and purified,
I shall come forth as gold.

Now I can see testing comes from above.
God strengthens His children and purges in love.
My Father knows best, and I trust in His care.
Through purging more fruit I will bear.

O rejoice in the Lord.
He makes no mistake.
He knoweth the end of each path that I take.
For when I am tried and purified,
I shall come forth as gold.
