Pain And
Exhaustion
by
Barbara Philbrook
Pain and
exhaustion, these are my lots in life.
Oh I've also known some trials and strife.
Now there
are times I've felt sorrow over these,
but mostly they have brought me onto my knees.
Being on
my knees has led me to the Father,
where I've learned that Jesus' life was oh so much
harder.
No matter
what it is that I go through,
Jesus suffered so much more for me and you.
I needn't
face all of this alone,
Jesus sent us a Comforter the Bible has shown.
We've been
given grace sufficient to meet any trial,
that this is true there is no denial.
There is
nothing we are too weak to face,
since Jesus came and died in our place.
Nothing is
asked of us without Him opening the way,
since we invited Him within to stay.
Pain and
exhaustion are just an excuse,
Jesus' love and grace are quite profuse.
We've more
than enough to get us through,
so we can finish everything we're supposed do.
Stand up
straight, lean on Jesus not yourself,
you'll find the grace He provides is of tremendous
wealth.
Pain and
exhaustion aren't so important any more,
instead your thoughts will be of Jesus whom you adore.
