We Smile. Jesus Laughs

 

Doug Blair, Kitchener ON.



He looks into your brokenness

Your heartache and your trials

He changes this or whispers that

And soon brings on the smiles. 

We hear that real contrition

Is the bedrock of our gain.

But do we know He seeks

Our joy and victory past the pain?

A giving Christ

A soothing Christ

A singing One to boot

And by the Spirit of Holiness

He draws out spiritual fruit.

It’s love and joy and peace He sends

So patient, gentle, kind.

Advancing in that meekness rare

Straight from the Saviour’s mind.



17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.

(from Psalm 34)
