Umbrella of Faith

Trials are just unstoppable, They are like the cold falling rain; Endurance we all truly need To weather the strong storm of pain. Rains may come in total torrents, Like tests that come in succession; They drown the heart and mind in tears, Draining both by tribulation. Firm faith in God we must possess Holding the umbrella handle; Though the downpour is too heavy, We can still stand, we can struggle. Faith fails to remove the tough test, For life is truly fraught with it; But it makes us able to pass, Even if heart is hardest-hit. With no trials to experience, Our resolve will not be proven; Like the genuine gold placed on fire, We are cleared by God in heaven. Trials by fire that do happen Are too hot to touch by the hand; Let’s handle them with utmost care, By the shield of one God's command. Without true faith we will weaken, Chilling in the rain dark and cold; When trials come - hard or easy, Umbrella of faith we must hold.
