Peaks and Valleys

This Too Shall Pass

By Earl W. PearlPublished 2 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read

Our little angel’s fallen ill

Her cancer’s back again

We’re faithing God, You’ll heal her still

In truth, we wonder when

We Trust In You, you’re always there

You always pull us thorough

We’re offering our child in prayer

Please do that thing You do

We’re passing thru another storm

But this storm too shall pass

We pray we’ll see more blessing’s form

To heal our daughter, Cass

We’re trusting in Your perfect will

You always pick us up

To help us with a bitter pill

You overfill our cup

With fervent love comes measured pain

It touches every life

But sacrifice means, more to gain

It’s just beyond the strife

There’s many things we must discern

Before our faith can flow

So many things we’ve yet to learn

But this is what we know

Before one scales a lofty peak

There’s pitfalls unforeseen

Those mountain peaks we often seek

Have valleys in between

Each peak may represent new highs

The valley’s, every low

But every time God’s helped us rise

The more our faith would grow
