Pain Can't Still My Joy

Pain Can't Still My Joy

The devil's getting desparate and trying everything
Our love for the Lord drives him insane,
So now he's trying a different attack
By attacking through physical pain.

When our bodies are attacked the pain is unreal
Shooting through our body and more,
A pain that makes you want to give up
If it will close the painful door.

The pain in our joints,  our muscles that ache
Through infirmities of every kind,
The pain that throbs each and every day
I seek any relief I can find.

But in the midst of all the excruciating pain
I still know God is here,
In tears I cry out and call His name
To keep the pain from turning to fear.

O Lord I scream in agony sometimes
"Please take this cup from me!
Give me the strength to still stand tall
Cause You know where You're taking me."

You taught me there's blessings in infirmity
When I continue to give You praise,
Even when the pain pulls me to the ground
I"ll praise You to the end of my days.

For no matter how much pain I feel
Lord I'll never take my eyes off You,
For in the long run it's what the devil really wants
Cause there is NOTHING he can make me do.

I trust You, Lord, wholeheartedly
It's not determined by how I feel,
Even if I can't understand this pain
If it's Your will I know I'll be healed.

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
