When you’re going through some trials

The burdens are hard to bear

You call out to God

But it seems He isn’t there.

In the presence of a silent God

There’s nothing you can do

But put your faith in Jesus

And know He’ll see you through.

If He answered plain and clear

Every time you called His name

You’d never soar to heights unknown

Your faith would stay the same.

We know that it’s the wings of faith

That carry us above

The lonely, hurting trials of life

To God’s perfect peace and love.
