~~THIS TOO SHALL PASS ~~
This Too Shall Pass
Dallas Holm-
There's a heaviness inside your heart
A weight you can't describe
A feeling that you just can't hide
There's a weariness within your mind
The thoughts don't come too clear
You feel as though I'm not so near to you
But remember I said I'd never leave
Trust in My Word and believe I am here
Forever, I'll never let you go
This is all you really need to know
I've heard every prayer
I've seen every tear
When I seemed so distant,
I've always been near
And I know the future,
and I know the past
So believe me when I say;
believe me when I say
This too, this too shall pass.
I
know sometimes it's hard for you
to put your trust in Me
To place your faith
in what you cannot see
I know sometimes you feel
that I'm a million miles away
But listen to your heart
and hear me say:
I've heard every prayer -
I've seen every tear
When I seemed so distant,
I've always been near
And I know the future
and I know the past
So believe me when I say;
believe me when I say
This too, this too shall pass.
Jeremiah 1:7,8,19 KJV
But the LORD said unto me,
Say not, I am a child:
for thou shalt go to all
that I shall send thee,
and whatsoever I command thee
thou shalt speak.
Be not afraid of their faces:
for I am with thee to deliver thee,
saith the LORD.
And they shall fight against thee;
but they shall not prevail against thee;
for I am with thee,
saith the LORD,
to deliver thee.
Matthew 10:19,20
But when they hand you over,
do not worry about how or
what you are to say;
for it will be given you
in that hour what you are to say.
For it is not you who speak,
but it is the Spirit of your Father
who speaks in you.
1 Peter 2:21-25
This suffering is all part of what
God has called you to.
Christ, who suffered for you,
is your example.
Follow in his steps.
He never sinned,
and he never deceived anyone.
He did not retaliate when he was insulted.
When he suffered,
he did not threaten to get even.
He left his case in the hands of God,
who always judges fairly.
He personally carried away our sins
in his own body on the cross
so we can be dead to sin and
live for what is right.
You have been healed by his wounds!
Once you were wandering like lost sheep.
But now you have turned to your Shepherd,
the Guardian of your souls.
