Poem
Thank God for trouble for without you could not see How triumph over adversity will give you the victory How can you appreciate the good if you never had the bad? How can you feel joy if you've never been sad? You can be high or low, you can go far and wide And trouble will always find a way to be by your side Thank God for trouble, the struggles and the strife Thank God for trouble and His Son Jesus the Christ Now the early church was looked at with a jaundiced eye by those in power The people of faith were killed and tortured at any given hour There was frenzied persecution and false prosecution in those troubling days And it seems that that state of mind is still here today Thank God for trouble and thank Him for Jesus the Christ As He dealt with our troubles by giving His life We now know that trouble leads to perseverance and hope And by Jesus' stripes we now know how to cope That yield point in life that we strive to attain Not to be broken but to rebound with the ability to sustain Thank God for trouble for without it we would never discover That unconditional faith in God gives us the ability to recover Now full of character and pregnant with possibilities We may fall down but we get up striving towards our God-given destinies And because we have God on the inside that Holy Spirit which dwells within We are more than conquerors we're God fearing women and men Thank God for trouble for without it we'd never be able to see How the Lord God is working for you and for me Thank God for trouble
