We must praise Him through

 the good and the bad.

And stand on His promises

even when we cannot see the end.

We must continually rejoice in Him

 and never allow our hearts to be sad.

What price we pay for holiness.

And it all seems difficult at times to do!

But Jesus bore 39 stripes

 to purchase freedom for me and you.

So when times get hard

 and your day is filled with misery.

Lift your hands in praise and worship to Jesus

 who paid the price for you and me to be set free.

Thank Him for His love,

 believing that the just shall live by faith. 

Then rest in God’s word

 that he will never leave us or forsake us;

 and holiness is just a prayer away.

For He lives inside of you and me;

And walks hand in hand with us every day!
