When troubles come
and things go wrong,
And days are cheerless
and nights are long,
We find it so easy
to give in to despair
By magnifying
the burdens we bear--
We add to our worries
by refusing to try
To look for 'the rainbow'
in an overcast sky--
And the blessing God sent
in a 'darkened disguise'
Our troubled hearts
fail to recognize,
Not knowing God sent it
not to distress us
But to strengthen our faith
and redeem us and bless us.
