My God is Still the Same
When I’m lost on the road
I’ve traveled many years,
When the things that I knew
Are now my doubts and fears,
When the dreams that I dreamed
Are now my broken heart,
When the hope that I had
Is fallen all apart,
When the certain things change,
Secure though thought to be,
When the plenteous joy
For nought is leaving me,
When the things that were mine
I can no longer claim,
When the place that I had
Will never be the same,
Though He slay me I’ll trust,
And then with Job I’ll say:
Praise the Lord how he gave,
And how he took away!
And with Job I will bow,
And bless his holy name,
For when nothing else is,
My God is still the same.
Ezra Brainard, August 2011
