When problems multiple
And people tear you down;
When failures are the norm,
And the painful stays around;
When you’re weary and afraid,
The burdens being great;
Just remember the Lord waits
For you at the narrow gate.
He said, “in this world you'll
have troubles,”
Persecution will abound;
He suffered so much for us,
How can we let Him down?
Don’t despise His chastening or rebuking,
For He does it out of love;
As heavenly sons and daughters,
He prepares us for above.
There is a prowling adversary
Whose aim is to devour;
As foretold his reign will come
to end
Upon a certain hour.
No trial will befall us,
In which Jesus is not there;
His promise is to keep us;
We are always in His care.
So we are more than conquerors,
The victory is begun;
For His work has been completed,
The battle He has won.
