and now we need to comfort our brothers and sisters here on FR who will be grieving.

I fully believe God is in control. But many people will be not looking at it that way.

And the good fights we are called to will still need to be fought.

Lots to do.

My Jesus, I trust in Thee

My Jesus, I trust in thee,
even as the darkness gathers.
My Jesus, I trust in thee,
even as the storm clouds deepen.
My Jesus, I trust in thee,
even when the lightning threatens.

My Jesus, help me trust in thee,
even though my heart quakes.
My Jesus, help me trust in thee
even though you may seem far way.
My Jesus, help me trust in thee,
even though evil seems near.

My Jesus, may I trust in thee,
even when sorrow breaks my heart.
My Jesus, may I trust in thee,
even in the darkness of my grief.
My Jesus, may I trust in thee,
even when I don't understand why.

A SONG IN THE NIGHT

I sing the song of the Underdog,
of the one who has fought, and lost;
of the one who could win if she'd only give in,
but she won't, not matter the cost -

I sing the song of the little man,
of the one who hadn't a chance;
though he knows he was doomed when he walked in the room
he still shows up for the dance

so here's to the anthems of glory
sung sweetest when sung in the night -
Though the darkness be long
We'll defy it with song
'Til God's morning greets us with the Light!

-Becki Snow
