THAT I MAY TEST THEM

God has every right to test His children;

There is no need to fear, this side of Heaven.

The Lord has proven that He is good and kind;

Concerning the tests of life, we should not mind.

 

God wants to know how we regard Him in our heart;

He has promised that, from us, He would never depart.

He has given us His word of faithful provision;

Why should we not believe in His protection?

 

We must learn from the mistakes that Israel made;

Let us learn to trust in a glorious God who is great!

There is no reason why we need to give in to fear;

We have a wonderful God who is truly near!

 

Let us seek the Lord’s grace most humbly;

When we face life’s many challenges daily.

God will be there to help and even to heal;

Our heart must learn how to trust and be still.
