I saw the woman in the chair; she was in church again todaySomeone said they've sold their house; they're going to move away.
No! I cried, they cannot go; they cannot move away.
I didn't get to know her; there's something I need to say:
Please tell me your secret; I want to sit at your feet,
I need to know how you handle the pain that is your daily meat.
How do you keep on smiling when each day your health grows worse?
How do you keep depending on God when you're living you're living with a curse?
Every time I see her, her smile comes from deep within.
I know her fellowship with God isn't scarred by the chair she's in.
She admits her health is failing; she knows she's fading away.
How can she remain so calm when I'd be running away?
My friend, can you tell me how you can trust the Lord?
How can you stay so gentle and sweet when He seems to wield a sword?
You are to me a promise that even in the midst of pain
God is near and faithful if I will turn to Him again.
