Hard Times
Many of us in my church have been experiencing hard and painful times recently: loved ones passing away at a relatively young age, tragic accidents, serious and also chronic illnesses.
After praying together as a church last night, I was chatting with one brother, who himself had just recovered from H1N1 and pneumonia. He related that he wants to share a song with all of us to encourage us, just as it had helped him through tough times.
It's a good song, written by Don Moen. Haven't heard it in a while, but it's relevant as ever. I'll let the words of the song speak for itself:
Lord, You seem so far away
A million miles or more it feels today
And though I haven't lost my faith
I must confess right now that it's hard for me to pray
But I don't know what to say
And I don't know where to start
But as You give the grace
With all that's in my heart
I will sing, I will praise
Even in my darkest hour
Through the sorrow and the pain
I will sing, I will praise
Lift my hands to honour You
Because Your word is true
I will sing
Lord, it's hard for me to see
All the thoughts and plans You have for me
But I will put my trust in You
Knowing that You died to set me free
But I don't know what to say
And I don't know where to start
But as You give the grace
With all that's in my heart
I will sing, I will praise
Even in my darkest hour
Through the sorrow and the pain
I will sing, I will praise
Lift my hands to honour You
Because Your word is true
I will sing, I will sing, I will sing...
So I'm reminded that the Christian faith not only recognises the reality of suffering and provides a reasonable explanation for the existence of suffering, but most of all it gives the reality of God's very own presence with us through the suffering. This is the God I worship, this is the Jesus Christ I follow.
