1. There’s a LESSON in every trial 
God allows to come your way.

You may not learn it right at first, 
but surely will one day.

At times you might be lonely, 
afraid or feeling blue,

thinking, in adversity, 
God has abandoned you.

2. Remember these imaginings 
are only in your mind.

If you search within your heart 
I’m confident you’ll find

that angels are accompanying you 
and hovering near in peace,

while quietly, with comfort, 
bid your worries all to cease.

In loving kindness, God who always 
knows what’s best for you

is MOLDING gently, in great love, 
your character anew.

3. Perceiving what will bring contentment, 
happiness, and peace,

He knows your present trials 
will help the future ones to cease.

They will bring you closer to our God 
and to His love,

so He can safely GUIDE you 
to His heavenly home above.

4. Please don’t feel forsaken 
the next time you feel blue.

Remember God is with you, 
in everything you do.

It’s possible the lesson 
you will learn from time to time

is that you only need His love 
to access the sublime.

So lift all vain ambitions, 
and let them all take flight.

You will see that God’s great LOVE 
will brighten every night.

5. Thank Him for the loved ones 
that He sends your whole life through

to lend refreshment and support 
when you are feeling blue.

They truly are the richest TREASURE 
God will ever give

and this the greatest lesson 
for as long as you may live!
