Something to shake our faith
Or attempting to shake it?
We know the sort of things
Death, suffering, calamity, etc
Yet it need not always be so
Things can strengthen our faith
Easy enough to say it
When it relates to \'others\'
We can forget their sufferings at times
As in \'Out of sight, out of mind\'
Not forgetting on purpose
But things slip our minds
Or we\'re busy with other things....
Let\'s hold to faith
We can\'t see it visibly-
That\'s why it\'s \'faith\'
If we could see faith, it would be \'sight\'
It\'s a ground to stand on - a Rock
Not as one said - a crutch to hold us up
So that we limp through life
Sufferings and troubles could turn us away from God
But they can also draw us nearer to Him
Not that they\'re good in themselves though
There\'s the hymn lines
\'God works in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform\'
