This Harsh Test of Faith
Verse I
I seem to be in the lowest of spirits,
wondering if it's a harsh test of faith;
I must undertake and not shut my mouth
with a loud hallelujah and praising words!
Chorus
I won't let life and fate deprive me
of my last hope; I'll defeat
every adversity that surely awaits me
with this harsh test of faith;
I could surrender and beat
my chest that feels hopeless and weak:
is this what I want and seek...
desperately clinging to wrath?
Verse II
Everything is hard going through
cold and gloomy days of useless misery;
why confide in unwise hearts and cry?
Look above: isn't the sky endlessly blue?
Verse III
Dismay is a sudden wonder not easily understood,
it's a miracle in the midst of many doubts;
so is forgiveness when it's really merited:
appreciate His mercy and shun the agony of sins!
Verse IV
Nothing will be given if not asked in prayers,
be transformed: replace pride with humbleness;
become the new light that shows more brightness:
it has the power to take away deceitful blindness!
