Troubles Come and Troubles Go

I lost my job the other day
My old hound dog; he ran away
My wife and kids; they up and split
The outhouse burned when lightning hit
My next door neighbor borrowed my truck
Drove it off a bridge when the brakes seized up
Now troubles come and troubles go
But none of them can take my soul
'Cause God is in control today
It just gives me more time to pray
Satan tries to change my mind
About my Saviour's love, divine
Some things are kinda hard to take
But I'll persevere for Jesus' sake
It's all part of the Master's plan
And all I have to understand
Is that when I'm weak then He is strong
And on my knees is where I belong
Some glad day I'll wear a crown
In a place where Satan can't be found
I'll be rewarded for my faith
Up there inside those pearly gates
Yep, troubles come and troubles go
But none of them can take my soul!

Thank you. I was in tears reading that.
God spoke encouragement to me through your poem.
He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. (2 Corinthians 12:9)

This passage has been my anchor as I deal with my back injury and my inability to work at this time. When the pain gets unbearable it is this passage I turn to for solace. Now this poem is an added bit of grace in my life that helps to keep me focused on the important things in life - not on my pain.
Blessings upon you!
