31 Days of Joy: When Trials Come

This song, by Keith and Kristyn Getty, was inspired by the passages about suffering in James and 1 Peter.  This song is sung with boldness and victory because we know that our Lord has already defeated death and overcome the world.  This song reminds us of why we can have joy in the midst of suffering.  (If you are reading this post in an email you will need to click over to see the video.)

When trials come no longer fear

For in the pain our God draws near

To fire a faith worth more than gold

And there His faithfulness is told

And there His faithfulness is told

Within the night I know Your peace

The breath of God brings strength to me

And new each morning mercy flows

As treasures of the darkness grow

As treasures of the darkness grow

I turn to Wisdom not my own

For every battle You have known

My confidence will rest in You

Your love endures Your ways are good

Your love endures Your ways are good

When I am weary with the cost

I see the triumph of the cross

So in its shadow I shall run

Till You complete the work begun

Til You complete the work begun

One day all things will be made new

I'll see the hope You called me to

And in Your kingdom paved with gold

I'll praise Your faithfulness of old

I'll praise your faithfulness of old
