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
