Sovereign in Suffering (I Samuel 4:1-11)
by amoswilson
Why has God brought suffering,
And beaten us in our distress?
Is this how He is punishing,
Vindictive in capriciousness?
He humbles those opposed to Him:
The posers and the hypocrites,
Then are you worshiping your sin,
And therefore are not truly His?
But God always expands His grace,
And shows Himself to everyone,
And though we do not see His ways,
He’s turning rebels into sons.
He calls His people to repent,
And therefore sends calamity,
That we may quickly turn to Him,
He shocks us out of apathy.

Lament (Psalm 42:6-11)
by amos wilson
I’m cut off from my people,
And my heart fills with woe,
As I try to remember,
All the graces You show,
As an outcast I wonder,
With me soul sinking low,
Are You, Lord, yet my rock of salvation?
All the breakers wash over,
As I struggle and drown,
By the billows I’m swallowed,
And the current holds me down,
And the deep spouts of water,
Further threats do compound,
Are you watching, Lord, from Your high station?
Yet from sunrise to sunrise,
God is yet by my side,
And from sunset to sunset,
In the night He abides,
For His love never eases,
He is near when I cried,
I will sing of His praise and be patient.
Though my enemies mock me,
And they stretch out a sword,
In my bones they have struck me,
Saying, ‘where is your Lord?’
He is standing beside me,
In His arms I am born,
Yes, my soul, He is still my salvation.
