Why Should I Doubt
Why should I doubt, why should I fear
When Jesus my High Priest is near?
Would He desert His blood-bought child
And let him sink in sin defiled?
Has He not love and grace combined
With power and wisdom sweetly twined?
So would He leave me to decay
If I neglect sometimes to pray?
How much more faithful He than I,
When sometimes I His name deny
And when my days are filled with cares
And few and far between my prayers.
Why anxious be,
My child, my love?
I rule above
And here below,
Do you not know
That sun and storm
And smooth and rough
All good and ill
Are subject to my will –
for good?
“We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.”
Romans 8:28
