Where Is God?
Along life’s way
Problems arise.
Some seen before—
Some do surprise.
“Why Lord, to me
Comes now this pain?
Let this cup pass—
Be gone life’s rain!”
“What purpose true
These hills to climb?
What lessons here—
What bells will chime?”
Come then our friends
To lend a hand,
They lift us up—
Now understand.
Now understand
Why trials arise.
There friendships live—
They are life’s prize!
God sends your friends,
Friends meant to be.
Make no mistake—
Friends meant for thee.
