EVEN THOUGH
The fig doesn’t blossom
And there’s no fruit on the vine…
Yet, I will rejoice in the Lord
I will exult in God my Saviour.
EVEN THOUGH
My pain goes on
Suffering with no respite…
Yet, I will rejoice in the Lord
I will exult in God my Saviour.
EVEN THOUGH
I ask, I plead for relief
And feel no response….
Yet, I will rejoice in the Lord
I will exult in God my Saviour.
EVEN THOUGH
My heart grows weary
And my Faith is greatly tested…
Yet, I will rejoice in the Lord
I will exult in God my Saviour.
EVEN THOUGH
I cry out in distress
And reach the edge of despair…
Yet, I will rejoice in the Lord
I will exult in God my Saviour.
For I am truly gifted
With the love of my God
Yahweh – my strength,
Who says, “Fear not, little one,
I will not let you go.
Yes, I will rejoice in the Lord
I will exult in God my Saviour
He who is ever faithful
He who is my strength
And who will never leave me.
Inspired by Book of Habakkuk 3:17-19
