HABAKKUK  3  SORROW'S  JOY 
ALBUM:      Amazing  Power 'n' Prayers

Don't believe I care to share the reason why I very sadly wrote this song on the floor, with a couple of cats wandering around my guitar wondering why I wasn't happily petting them..  Just this:  Once more God inspired a song in minutes that was recorded and on the world wide web within  a  single day. 
    But then He easily created all the cats & critters   in a day.... :)
Dedicated to Comforting God, 8 March 2013
LYRICS
1
Things that I love keep getting taken away.
That's NOT  a complaint, LORD,   just observation.

My heart is heavy as once more it seems
    that something else I love in life may soon disappear.


CHORUS
LORD God, help me TRUST You, despite all my loss.
In my head, I sorrow.  In my heart I trust.
      It is SIMPLE LOGIC --- You Who sent Jesus  to
      save us from eternal loss   ARE a God we can trust!


2
Though the fig tree of blessings for me don't blossom,
and though failure seems to be the fruit of my work,
Yet will I CHOOSE to rejoice in The LORD.  I'll
    joy in the LORD God of my saving salvation!   



CHORUS
LORD God, help me TRUST You, despite all my loss.
In my head, I sorrow.  In my heart I trust.
      It is SIMPLE LOGIC --- You Who sent Jesus  to
      save us from eternal loss   ARE a God we can trust!


3
God, the LORD is my strength and makes me walk high hills.  Yet
God gives me feet swift to run and climb like deer.
Therefore shall I  CHOOSE to rejoice in The LORD.  I'll
    joy in the LORD God of my saving salvation!   


CHORUS
LORD God, help me TRUST You, despite all my loss.
In my head, I sorrow.  In my heart I trust.
      It is SIMPLE LOGIC --- You Who sent Jesus  to
      save us from eternal loss   ARE a God we can trust!

God's SUPPORTING WORDS:
Habakkuk's prayer after hearing that invaders are coming to his land:

"Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls--
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, 
      I will joy in the God of my salvation. 
The LORD God  is my strength; 
   He will make my feet like deer's feet, 
      And He will make me walk on my high hills.
To the Chief Musician. With my stringed instruments."
       --Habakkuk 3, at the end
