TEMPTED AND TRIED
When I am in the night of trial
I do not pretend to be in denial,
Extra grace is my request
As I lean on Jesus’ chest
 
Though now my, head is crowned with troubles
The power of God will remove the rubbles,
These hands are filled with a tearful cry
God’ mercy wipes them dry
 
My garments are soiled with stained dust
Jehovah Jira will remove the rust,
How despicable my troubles will seem
On the day I hold, my Lord’s garment seam
 
These worldly trials are just momentary afflictions
For with Yahweh, I have great expectations
To have so sure, so comforting a hope
Most certainly, this is no joke!
