EVEN IF



Even if

He takes my

Loved one home.

 

Even if

I’m left

All alone.

 

Do I?

Will I?

Believe?

 

Still believe

In Your goodness

In Your grace?

 

Even if

My womb

Is empty and bare.

 

Even if

It seems He

Doesn’t answer prayer.

 

Do I?

Will I?

Believe?

 

Still believe

In Your goodness

In Your grace?

 

For He is

Bigger than my

Greatest fear.

 

And His Presence

Is always

Near.

 

For it’s

His love that

Is always pure.

 

And in

His Security

I’m always sure.

 

And I believe.

I still believe.

He is good.

 

Even if

The doctor says

There’s no hope.

 

Even if

I think that

I can no longer cope.

 

Do I?

Will I?

Believe?

 

Still believe

In Your goodness

In Your grace?

 

For He is

Bigger than my

Greatest fear.

 

And His Presence

Is always

Near.

 

For it’s

His love that

Is always pure.

 

And in

His Security

I’m always sure.

 

And I believe.

I still believe.

He is good.

 

And even if

A loved one

Walks away.

 

Even if

My spouse

Casts me astray.

 

Do I?

Will I?

Still believe?

 

In Your goodness

In Your grace?

 

Even if I suffer

And must

Bear a cross.

 

Then I die to self

For there

Is no loss.

 

Do I?

Will I?

Still believe?

 

In Your goodness

And in Your grace?

 

Even if

Friends or

Others betray.

 

Even if

I’m left

Baffled and dismayed.

 

Do I?

Will I?

Still believe?

 

In Your goodness

And in Your grace?

 

For He is

Bigger than my

Greatest fear.

 

And His Presence

Is always

Near.

 

For it’s

His love that

Is always pure.

 

And in

His Security

I’m always sure.

 

And I believe.

I still believe.

He is good.

 

“But even if He does not rescue us, we want you as king to know that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden statue you set up.” (Daniel 3:18)


(Written for friends facing overwhelming circumstances and loss who still believe in God’s faithfulness and goodness. He is good no matter what you face.)
