Songs for Sorrow, part two

"When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rives, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.  For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior...Thou wast precious in My sight...and I have loved thee...Fear not: for I am with thee."

Sometimes circumstance or God leads us through fiery trials.  What can we do.  Hide?  Run?  Desert our post?  No, God Has promised He is in the fire.  "And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire." (Exodus 3:2) In the pain and sorrow of trial, our loving Savior slowly leads us through to safety.




Through
by The Gaithers


When I saw what lay before me, Lord, I cried what will you do?
I thought He would just remove it. But He gently led me through
Without fire there's no refining, without pain no relief,
Without flood there's no rescue, without testing no belief.
Through the fire, through the flood, through the water, through the blood
Through the dry and barren places, through life's dense and maddening mazes
Through the pain and through the Glory through it all
we'll tell the story of the God whose power and mercy
will not fail to take us through
