What God hath promised

Haha! I love this song!
God put it in my head today. Doesn't matter what I worry about (and I am an expert worrier), He's got it handled. That's His promise. Nothing is ever so broken that he cannot fix it, nothing so ugly that he cannot make it beautiful, nothing so stuck that he cannot free it, nothing so lost that he cannot find it, nothing so bruised that he cannot heal it. Phew!

Might as well ENJOY the rain when it comes, its an opportunity to get out my new polka dot umbrella and watch for the rainbow.

Life is messy, but so good.

...........................................................................................................................................................
God hath not promised skies always blue,
Flower strewn pathways all our lives through;
God hath not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.

Refrain:
But God hath promised strength for the day,
Rest for the labor, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing kindness, undying love.

God hath not promised we shall not know
Toil and temptation, trouble and woe;
He hath not told us we shall not bear
Many a burden, many a care.

Refrain

God hath not promised smooth roads and wide,
Swift, easy travel, needing no guide;
Never a mountain rocky and steep,
Never a river turbid and deep.

Refrain
