Joy in Sorrow

If not for You my heart would break.
If not for You I would find no Joy
If not your joy I would see no purpose for the pain.

My heart indeed is broken, you you put it back together with the skill of a master. Within your hands my heart rests. I find more sadness then joy now, and from You comes my only joy. It is for You I get up and wipe away the tears, but it is not only for You but by You I rise.

I know not the reason for the sorrow, but I trust You. I see not the purpose but I trust You.

My God I run to You hold me for a while for I am weary, restore to me my joy. Put back together my broken heart. As you work protect me for I am week. In you I find my refuge even when I have no strength.

Protect me, love me, restore me for you are my God. For you are my God when things are good and full of joy. You are my God when I can find no other joy except the joy that is found in you.
