WHEN I WALK THROUGH SUFFERING
Let it be an offering
Like a fragrance rising
In the valley of shadow
Not to waste my sorrows
But to trust and follow
Until the day
When you wipe away every tear
You will hold me, carry me
Till that day
When You take away every fear
No more suffering
Who can imagine
So I’ll trade my sorrows
For the joy of serving You
Sharing your tomorrow
With your comfort, comforting
Bringing hope from hope You bring
My whole life an offering
Until the day
When wipe away every tear
You will hold me, carry me
Till that day
When take away every fear
No more suffering
Who can imagine that day
