~ We've got to take it day by day ~

To my dear friends who have lost such dear people in such short time--and to everyone who is experiencing life's most difficult times. Someday soon all of us who have faith in Jesus Christ will be with Him in His Kingdom, and He will reign. There will be no more suffering just joy in forever dwelling with our King as His adult daughters and adult sons, His princesses and His princes--there's hope in the promise of ETERNAL life!

Day by Day Medley
(Swedish Melody/D. Wyrtzen)
as sung by Christine Wyrtzen

Day by day, and with each passing moment
Strength I find to meet my trials here
Trusting in my Father's wise bestowment
There's no cause for worry or for fear.

He, who's heart is kind beyond all measure
Gives unto each day what He sees best
And lovingly He gives with pain and pleasure
Mingling toil with peace and rest.

Sometimes the day seems long; our trials hard to bear
We're tempted to complain, murmur and despair
But Chrsit will soon apppear to catch His Bride away
All tears forever over in God's eternal day.

It will be worth it all when we see Jesus
Life's trials will seem so small when we see Christ
One glimpse of His dear face, all sorrow will erase
So bravely run the race till we see Christ.

But just think of stepping on shore and finding it heaven
Of touching a hand and finding it God's
Of breathing new air and finding it celestial
Of waking up in glory and finding it home.

This song comes from Christine's album "For Those Who Hurt"--my favorite (although I wish she had put "The Fire" on this album)

Go to https://www.daughtersofpromise.org/musicinterface/ to hear sound clips from this album and other Christine albums. Daughter of Promise has "The Fire" on it.

hi.... you don't know me, nor I you...

but your blog helped me this week and I wanted to say thank you!

I was searching for the lyrics to the song you'd quoted on your blog, and found the "day by day" medley on there and used it...

thank you!

Thank you also, for your blog.. for sharing your struggles... life is way more difficult sometimes than I'd ever expected it to be, and it is people like you that are support and help along the way!

God bless you in your journey.... someday, I'll meet you on the other side!
