By the number of missed calls and voicemails received
Somebody just died, it had to be
Why else would the calls within the hour be so many
Waited till I sat down somewhere to respond
Got to get prepared for which relative is gone

Didn’t even listen to voicemails, just returned one of the calls
Asked what was this emergency, that got me full of nervous energy
A lot of money is needed-urgently
The amount substantial, and I didn’t have on me
So, went to ATM reluctantly

Wish they told me days ago about this money need
But then I thought,
This emergency call is actually a blessing
Although a hole in the budget it will leave
I’ll survive because I won’t have to grieve
I’m just thanking God everyone’s well and alive
Money can be replaced, life cannot
So, I quit complaining and started thanking God for the call I got.

Scripture Reference:
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7

You don’t know why you’re going through
You don’t know what God is going to do
All things work together for good
for them that love the Lord (Romans 8:28)
So it’s best to just keep on going

What you’re going through may be best for now
Even though you ask why and how
He has a plan that you don’t understand
Just remember that good can come out of bad

He said you He will never leave nor forsake (Hebrews 13:5)
Even though you ask how much more can you take
He won’t put more on than you can bear (1 Colossians 10:13)
He’s merciful, and He cares

For new life experiences He may be trying to prepare
And you need to go through this to prepare
But from trials He’ll you deliver from
‘Cause He’s such a wonderful One.
