“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” 2 Corinthians 4:1717For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; (2 Corinthians 4:17).
“But for a moment,” the trial,
Only a moment ‘twill last,
Soon in the glory with Jesus,
Each trial and sorrow past.
“Now for a season,” if need be
Temptation, heaviness, pain,
Proving thy faith most precious,
Gleaning eternal gain.
Faith in a Father’s wisdom,
Faith in His heart of love,
Faith through the worst affliction,
Faith that looks up above.
Faith that will stand His testing
Though it be tried with fire;
Trusting His love and goodness,
This is His heart’s desire.
Testing is just for a season
Later its purpose is known
After the trial, comes blessing
After the cross, comes the crown.
