In Everything
If everything means everything and everything means all
Does everything mean everything form super large to small
In issues that pertain to us from poverty to wealth
From brokenness with no relief to all enduring health
Should our approach to living be a daily wishing well
When all our circumstances seem to be a living hell
Should every base affliction that is burdening our soul
Be looked at as a blessing sent of God to make us whole
Should every constitution in our living be exposed
To questioning their future if in truth they should be closed
Because in their reality they cause more bad than good
And take more from our vital force for living than they should
And should each passing moment be considered as a gift
That makes and molds and fashions us for when the Lord will lift
Us from that dusty waiting place among that waiting throng
That will one day be raised to life to sing salvation's song
That speaks of trials that led us to the blessing of the cross
That Christ said we should bring along that none should suffer loss
That cross that is a blessing when considered from His view
That sees it as a lift to life where all things will be new
For as Christ's cross was lifted on Golgotha long ago
So our cross must to lifted that the world through us might know
The patience and humility that comes in knowing Him
Who once was lifted from the earth to save the souls of them
Who know Him as their Saviour as their Master Lord and King
Who is Almighty Sovereign God in charge of everything
Who feels our every anguish every heartache every pain
And promises a Kingdom where not one will hurt again
But will with greatest pleasure look back to the past one time
To see where every burden was a rung they had to climb
With Christ's help on that ladder that reached to eternal bliss
That they consider worth it for the Home they would not miss
That Home where none will suffer not one scar will mar their skin
Not one remembrance of the past will cause them pain again
But all will be most thankful for whatever they went through
To live in love with Jesus in that paradise made new
1 Thessalonians 5:1-18
