God Can Make...


The strain of my misery
Into the strength of His mercy

The storm of my feeling
Into the serenity of His faith

The wound of my hurt
Into the wonder of His healing

The bread of my adversity
Into the beauty of His adoration

The torment of my failure
Into the triumph of His favor

The guilt of my sin
Into the grace of His salvation

The confusion of my wandering
Into the clarity of His ways

The bitterness of my rebellion
Into the beauty of His righteousness

The groan of my wrestling
Into the glory of His resting

All things beautiful in His time

When the Demons Tremble

Do we marvel at the power of Jesus
Are we awed by His authority
When we're crippled by those things that please us
While He took up our infirmity

Do we gasp when the waves cease their roaring
Left stunned by the quieted sea
Like the unfinished timid disciples
Confused by such pure majesty

Are we not left numb with this question
What's the difference between ourselves and He
If we all have the same consolation
Then why not the same power we see?

The honest heart craves a true answer
Not satisfied by man-made lies
That cover our spiritual cancer
While faith and hope in many dies

In brokenness and true confession
Comes forth that faint heavenly voice
The answer to our groaning question
Is simply a matter of choice

He chose to believe only One word
He never acted on His own
He waited till that voice He had heard
He fully acknowledged God's throne

When we learn to submit as the Son did
His power will be seen in us too
 Demons never fear and start trembling 
till they first see His power formed in you
