Even Then

It’s not in the times when all goes right

When your hopes come true

Or your path is full of light

It’s not when your plans come through 

When the details turn out

Or dreams are fulfilled

It’s when your tempted to doubt

Your plans are all spilled

Nothing seems to go as you want

Deep inside is filled with pain

Your past is there to haunt

Nevertheless it’s not in vain

Only if instead of doubting 

You go deeper still

Into your inner being 

Where only Christ’s love can fill 

Crying out in earnest

Knowing He loves you even then

He’s there, calling out

In the midst of the stormy sea 

“Leave the boat

And come unto Me.”

 

“Lord, if this is You calling

You will be with me all the way

Only You will keep me from falling

May I not be distracted today

As long as I look to You only

You will be with me
You will receive all the glory.”
