| . . . He broke them with hard labour; they fell and none could help them rise up again. Then they cried to the Lord in their troubles, and He rescued them. Psalm 107: 12. 13. |
| Trouble is something no one can escape, Everyone has it in some form or shape--- Some people hide it away down deep inside, Some people bear it with gallant-like pride, While others rebel and become bitter and old With hopes that are dead and hearts that are cold. But the wise man accepts whatever God sends, Willing to yield like a storm-tossed tree bends, Knowing that God never makes a mistake, So whatever He sends they are willing to take. For trouble is part and parcel of life And no man can grow without trouble and strife, So blest are the people who learn to accept The trouble men try to escape and reject, For in our acceptance we're given great grace And courage and faith and the strength to face The daily troubles that come to us all So we may learn to stand straight and tall, For the grandeur of life is born of defeat And in overcoming we make life complete.
