We want all the seasons of life to be merry,
But if there should be a “cross” we must carry,
We can find strength and joy in the Lord.
When we lean on Him He brings rich reward.
We’re not alone in life’s many “seasons”,
And when a “cross” happens may not know the reasons.
But if we reach down in the depths of our heart
We’ll know God is with us, His strength to impart.
We then can rise up and carry our cross.
The insight we gain will offset the “cost”.
Some part of “self” for the cross we give up,
But during these times God “refills” our cup.
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
Philippians 4:13 KJV
