SUFFERING

[verseode]

            

         I have toiled for many seasons
         I have suffered untold pain
         Limping through a red hot desert
         Hoping for a fall of rain
         Why has God allowed this torment
         Surely I'm His special one
         Never there when I am calling
         On this journey I've begun.

         God is shaping you for service
         Has a special plan for you
         Hang on just a moment longer
         Let Him bring it into view
         You will be a stronger person
         New, refined and full of power
         Ready for your new assignment
         From a weed you'll be a flower.
