When trials come, no longer fear
For in the pain our God draws near
To fire a faith worth more than gold
And there His faithfulness is told
And there His faithfulness is told.
Within the night, I know Your peace
The breath of God brings strength to me.
And new each morning mercy flows
As treasures of the darkness grow
As treasures of the darkness grow.
I turn to wisdom not my own
For every battle You have known.
My confidence will rest in You
Your love endures Your ways are good
Your love endures Your ways are good.
When I am weary with the cost
I see the triumph of the cross
So in it’s shadow I shall run
‘Till He completes the work begun
‘Till He completes the work begun.
One day all things will be made new
I’ll see the hope You called me to.
And in your kingdom paved with gold
I’ll praise your faithfulness of old
I’ll praise your faithfulness of old.
