It’s too easy to trust God,
when Life is good, pleasant
and free of everyday strife.
When we’re comfortable, joy
is often experienced; lost is
sight of Him, Who gives Life.
Unfortunately, tragedy’s pain
is released upon us, whereby we
succumb to despair, unbelief
and the darkness that envelops
a World with sin’s rebellion.
We’re now unfocused; no relief
is available to our sad souls;
we’re swallowed by an evil that
stabs us… with merciless grief.
Calling Christ now, that is Faith-
when we choose to move forward,
rise up and reaffirm our beliefs
in the One, Who truly saves us.

To trust God in the light is nothing,
