They’re not my favorite memories; When my hopes were crushed. The pain oppressed me endlessly, When dreams turned into dust. Sometimes when I first awoke, I didn’t notice pain. But then a brick wall fell on me, And crushed me once again. There were times and there were days I didn’t want to live. Getting out of bed took more Than I had to give. I am still alive by grace; God has filled my cup. When I didn’t notice Him He still held me up. All I say is that know Something about hurt. More than once my hopes and dreams, Crumbled into dirt. I promise that God’s promises- All of them are true. He made Adam from the dust, Your dust He’ll renew. Right now in the middle of All your suffering, Hold on tight to Jesus, keep doing the next thing. Someday you’ll look back on this Wondering just how You made it through the hard times Glad that it is now. God will not distribute you More than He will help. Beauty from the ashes heap He will bring about.
