I Am Here

In Time of Trouble, Say:

First, He brought me here;

it is by His will that I am in this place:

in that fact I will rest.

Next, He will keep me here in His love, 

and give me grace to behave as His child.

Then, He will make the trial a blessing,

teaching me the lessons He intends me to learn,

and working in me the grace 

He means to bestow. 

Last, in His good time

He can bring me out again –

how and when He knows.

Let me say I am here,

  •  By God’s appointment

  •  In His keeping

  •  Under His training

  •  For His time
