| ~*God Knows Best*~ by Helen Steiner Rice Our Father knows whats best for us, So why should we complain... We always want the sunshine, But He knows there must be rain. We love the sound of laughter And the merriment of cheer; But our hearts would lose their tenderness, If we never shed a tear. Our Father test us often With suffering and with sorrow; He tests us, not to punish us, But to help us meet "tomorrow." For growing trees are strengthened When they withstand the storm; And the sharp cut of the chisel Gives the marble grace and form. God never hurts us needlessly, And He never wastes our pain; For every loss He sends to us Is followed by rich gain. For Our Father loves His children, And to Him all things are plain; So He never sends us "pleasure" When the "soul's deep need is pain." So whenever we are troubled And when everything goes wrong, It is just God working in us To make "Our Spirits Strong." |
