no greater gift

in the middle of the uncertainty 
with questions in the back of my mind
Your grace that is sufficient for me
Finds me once again

Through desert storms
With questions hanging in the air 
I’ve learned to count it all joy
As my faith is solidified once again 

Through all the chaos  
With questions still unanswered 
Your strength that gives power to the weak
Revives me once again 

For this season 
I am beyond grateful 
For without it 
I never would have discovered 
What it means to persevere 

As Romans 5:4 so beautifully reminds us 
perseverance produces character
and character, hope. 
And hope does not disappoint
Because of the love of God
That has been poured out in our hearts 

So, though so many questions remain
And, my heart still grieves
For all the closed doors
I never asked to come to an end
His gentle whisper
Reminds me that one day
All will be made right again

Until that day
There is a hope
Firm and secure
That keeps me anchored
To the truth of His embrace

In the middle of all the questions
He provides a peace that doesn’t make sense
And, returns me to the joy of my childhood
As I choose to rest in His sovereignty
And, receive all that He has for this day

And, so what else is there to say?
But, to give thanks
For despite all the questions,
He provides Himself

No greater gift
Christ’s love for you and I
