The Proving Of My Faith
by Lewis Hamilton
From the book “The Gardener and My Garden” c1997
It’s easy to praise the Lord
when I’m on a mountain high
or I’m soaring in the air
up where the eagles fly
It’s easy to praise him
when life is going right
and it doesn’t seem the devil
is putting up a fight
But what will I do when troubles come
and I’m not feeling the power?
Will I cling to my faith in him
when I’m in my trying hour?
When I reach my lowest depth
will I take time to pray
or will I lose my grip on faith
and let it slip away?
Unproven faith is not faith at all,
this truth of faith I’ve found
The proving of my faith comes only
when I’m on my lowest ground.
Therefore, among God’s churches we
boast about your perseverance and
faith in all the persecutions and trials
you are enduring.
II Thessalonians 1:4
