"As GOD Will !"

[Jonah2005bt]

Pain's furnace heat within me quivers,
GOD'S breath upon the flame doth blow;
And all my heart in anguish shivers
And trembles at the fiery glow;
And yet I whisper, "As GOD Will!"
And in the hottest fire hold still.

HE comes and lays my heart, all heated,
On the hard anvil, minded so
Into HIS own fair shape to beat it
With HIS great hammer, blow on blow;
And yet I whisper, "As GOD Will!"
And at HIS heaviest blows hold still.

HE takes my softened heart and beats it;
The sparks fly off at every blow;
HE turns it o'er and o'er and heats it,
And lets it cool, and makes it glow;
And yet I whisper, "As GOD Will!"
And in HIS mighty hand hold still.

Why should I murmur? for the sorrow
Thus only longer-lived would be;
The end may come, and will tomorrow,
When GOD has done HIS WORK in me;
So I say trusting, "As GOD Will!"
And, trusting to the end, hold still.
--Julius Sturm

Psalms 46:1-11

Psalms 46

1. God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.
2. Therefore we will not fear, Though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3. Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah
4. There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.
5. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.
6. The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted.
7. The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
8. Come, behold the works of the Lord, Who has made desolations in the earth.
9. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the fire.

* 10. Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

11. The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
