| God Knows Best |
| Our Father knows what's best for us, So why should we complain . . . We always want the sunshine, But he knows there must be rain. |
| We love the sound of laughter And merriment of cheer; But our heart would lose their tenderness If we never shed a tear. |
| Our Father tests us often With suffering and with sorrow; He tests us, not to punish us, But to help us meet "tommorrow". |
| For growing trees are strengthened When they withstand the storm; And the sharp cut of the chisel Gives the marble grace and form. |
| God never hurts us needlessly, And he never wastes our pain; For every loss he sends to us Is followed by rich gain. |
| And when we count the blessings That God has so freely sent; We will find no cause for mourmuring And no time to lament. |
| For our Father loves His children, And to him all things are plain; So he never sends us "pleasure" When the "soul's deep need is pain". |
| So whenever we are troubled, And when everything goes wrong, It is just God working in us To make "our spirit strong". by Helen Steiner Rice |
