For all things — there are reasons
Though you may question some
But in God’s perfect seasons
God’s purpose will be done
God’s grace will not diminish
While there is work to do
What joy that day you finish
The task he’s given you
Don’t quit things prematurely
God has the end in sight
By giving up too early
You’ll never see God’s might
And practice Christ-like living
Hold firm to your belief
For what the world is giving
Will only bring you grief
God isn’t in a hurry
Nor is he out of time
Have patience — do not worry
His schedule is divine
