Our Father knows what's 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 lose

their tenderness

if

We never shed a tear....

Our Father tests us often

With suffering and with sorrow,

He test us not to punish us,

But to help us meet tommorrow...

So whenever we are troubled,

And when everything goes wrong,

It is just God working in us

To make our spirit strong.
