Brash, brutal barbs test and attempt to dismantle our hope
But when we fold its care in prayer He kindly helps us cope
Hurtful, hungering hollows are so hard to satisfy
Without the love of God; He loves from springs that never
dry
The cruelty of selfish expectation blights our boast
How sad to forfeit happiness because we love Self most
Wrath swipes a smile and turns its gladsome would-be joy to
tears
Tis not in grand acclaim but simple act that fills our years
Life tosses toil and trouble like a test across our way
We would be wise to seek the counsel of our God today
…for it is not what we may think that orders our hand
But what God says; ‘love Me and others’ is His first command
