Never In Vain
You often cry and wonder why
He seems so far away
You wonder if He truly cares
And hears you when you pray
You know you should believe He’s good
But cannot see His hand
It’s hard to cling to joy and hope
When you don’t understand
But never fear, for yet He’s near
His promise will remain
“I haven’t told the seed of Jacob
‘Seek for me in vain.'”
When life is dim, you search for Him
Amidst the clouds of doubt
You know He has the answers that
Can say what life’s about
But when you fail to see the trail
That leads you to His throne
You fear that searching won’t avail
You feel that you’re alone
But lift your head and never dread
He’ll guide you through the rain
He hasn’t told the seed of Jacob
“Seek for me in vain.”
When all you know is dole and woe
And you can barely see
You know you need to hear His voice
That He can set you free
To hear His voice becomes your choice
But how you do not know
Then seek His face and trust in Him
His words to you He’ll show
And when you’ve heard His precious word–
What peace amidst the pain!
He hasn’t told the seed of Jacob
“Seek for me in vain.”
He knows our fears, He sees our tears
He saves us from alarms
And though He sometimes lets us fall
We fall into His arms
Despite our flaws, He gives a cause
To all that we endured
He didn’t speak in secret depths
We hear our Savior’s word
And when the years of pain and tears
Have brought you strength and gain
You’ll say in love to Yah above
“I never sought in vain.”
Inspired by Isaiah 45:18+19
