We are to count it all joy no matter how hard that may be,
that is the instruction given to you and me.

It may appear as if our life is falling apart,
count your blessings and thank God with all of your heart.

Tears may be falling, soaking your shirt through,
but singing about Gods praises is what we should do.

There may be an ache tearing through your heart,
but we should  remember God said He'd never from us depart.

Pain, death, tears or fear,
none of these can separate us from the love that we share.

Nothing in this world or out of it for that matter,
can cause our Heavenly bond to sever or shatter.

So no matter what's happening or appears to be,
God is and will be there for eternity.

Don't let appearances cause your faith to fall apart,
where we are weak, Grace fills in as it has from the start.

God will be pleased if these two things you do,
count it all joy and sing of His love so true.
