Calm Assurance

Our father's way may twist and turn
and our troubled hearts may ache
But we know God can turn ashes into beauty
and re-mold and remake
He can put the broken pieces
back together again
so to praise and glorify his name
and once more anew begin
Being torn and in distress
does not mean we've been forsaken
it only means God is still on His throne
with a plan to get us awakened
When struggles and sin are besetting
and the day seems long
he knows how to fix things
and put in our heart a song
To have a calm assurance
that soon the struggle will be done
when safe in the arms of Jesus
we'll be in heaven and eternity just begun

Isaiah 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
