Should Pain Attend Me

Should pain attend me?

Sorrow, toil, woe in the hour of trial?

No, this can’t be; I have a friend so precious

Very dear, Who more than all in thee I find

Highly wonderful to cause my fainting soul’s rejoices


Jesus, lover of my soul

Quickly puts my troubles to an end

Even in time of the storm 

Hangs my helpless soul on thee

Other refuge have I none


In the loudest silence

His melody within my heart rings

He never leaves, His support and comfort I gain

Surely I am kept under His safe wings

My Love, love to me in him you revealed


However dark his plan might be

Deep love for God and man, I plead

He was defeated and through Him we won

Should pain attend us? Should bitterness live our souls?

No, His peace, joy and happiness we're filled


He cares, sees and Provides the best.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.

All have trials and temptations hard to bear, so don't rest your troubles unto mortal men rather make them all known to God in an earnest prayer.
