A few days ago, feeling discouraged and not a little lonely, the tune and these words were on my heart. Then, I understood I Peter 3.18. For Christ also hath ONCE suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit. The things in life that may discourage and disappoint are for our good and His glory. Romans 8.28 states it this way; And we know, that ALL things work together for good to them that love God (them is any believer, by faith) to them who are the called according to HIS purpose.
Dear reader, let the words of the scripture and the melancholy, healing words of this song seep into your very soul. My prayer is that it will encourage and lift you up in your lonely hour.
God bless and keep you is my prayer.
