ADVERSITY CAN DISTRESS US OR BLESS US The way we use adversity is strictly our own choice, For in God's Hands adversity can make the heart rejoice - For everything God sends to us, no matter in what form, Is sent with plan and purpose for by the fierceness of a storm The atmosphere is changed and cleared and the earth is washed and clean.

When you are in troubled and worried and sick at heart And your plans are upset and your world falls apart, Remember God's ready and waiting to share The burden you find much to heavy to bear-- So with faith, "Let Go and Let GOD" lead your way Into a brighter and less troubled day

There's always a tomorrow and the hope of something new.

God, teach me to be patient, teach me to go slow

In everything both great and small, We see the Hand of God in all.

A mother's love is like a fortress, And we seek protection there, When the waves of tribulation, Seem to drown us in despair.

No matter how steep the mountain - the Lord is going to climb it with you.
