Testing of Your Faith - James 1: 2-4
In recent days felt God leading me
considering trials that come across my path
for here James encourages count this joy
no matter your struggles enjoy your joyful bath
God pushes to believe in real faith
so your testing will produce firmness
showing God you're the real mould
living in His light being rid of darkness
The Lord Jesus has a purpose in mind
to do real work within our soul
shaping His godliness into the heart
this being the Lord's ultimate goal
This firmness needs to be given full effect
so show one self-approved unto God
being more like Jesus every day
His hand raised so to be given the nod
So this lesson on my faith tested
to trust my Lord to get me in shape
in His providence using every little thing
so I can from sin make my escape
(Testing of Your Faith
"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.")
James 1: 2-4 (ESV)
