Until I learned to trust
I did not learn to pray
And I did not learn to fully trust
Till sorrows came my way

Until I felt my weakness
His strength I never knew
Nor dreamed till I was stricken
That He would see me through

Who deepest drinks of sorrow
Drinks deepest too of grace
He sends the storm so He Himself
Can be our hiding place

His heart that seeks our highest good
Knows well when things annoy
We would not long for heaven
If earth held only joy
