God In the Hard Times

Good Morning My Friends....

Monday our Minister of Music called and asked if I would be willing to sing a solo on one of the songs that our Choir is learning for our Praise Celebration in April.

The words to this song are so comforting, that I just had to share them with you!!

I wish you could hear the music, but I was unable to find the track online.....

I  ALREADY  KNEW

Unexpected tears fall down your face;      

You never dreamed that life would go this way,

The winds of sorrow blow and you fell so all alone, so out of place.

But God wants you to know that He is there, and when you call His name in prayer,

He says... "I already knew what you'd be going through, and I've been here right before you all the time.

I'm no stranger to the pain, for I bore the shame and suffering for you.

Your trial didn't take me by surprise.  I already knew."

You never know just what a day will bring, what lies ahead remains to be seen.

Fear has griped your mind, you just can't seem to find a song to sing.

But God holds your tomorrow in His hands, Though you cannot see His perfect plan,  He'll say...

"I already knew what you'd be going through, and I've been here right before you all the time.

I'm no stranger to the pain, for I bore the shame and suffering for you.

Your trial didn't take me by surprise, I already knew.

I'm the Future and the Past,  the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last..... I'll be there tomorrow, for I have always been.

And I already knew, what you'd be going through and  I've been here right before you all the time.

I'm no stranger to the pain, for I bore the shame and suffering for you.

Your trial didn't take me by surprise, I already knew!!!

I Already Knew!

I Already Knew!"

Thank You Lord.... In our pain and suffering You are there right before us!!  Thank You that YOU hold our tomorrows in Your hands!!! Thank You for bearing the shame and suffering for us!!

And thank You that we can call out to You in our suffering and pain, and You hear us!!
