When trouble comes
When the storms gain the heart of raging beast
And comes charging with such ferocity
When sweet dreams become nightmares filled to the brim with adversity
When the night becomes a drowning ocean
And burdens feel so heavy; all movement is in slow motion
When life is a long line of lapses
And fear is a marksman
Who just loves using my heart for target practice
When trouble comes to me,
I will smile, I’ll laugh , I’ll dance
I will drop a legwork allover the devil’s failed plans
I’ll treat my hands like an orchestra
l’ll turn my voice into a hundred man choir
And give the Lord a full worship concert
I’ll rejoice , for my solution arrived two millennia before trouble came
When I met Christ, there was an exchange of an old life for a new
And through him God’s spirit came too
When God’s spirit became the active ingredient in my composition
My point of view was re-positioned
So as to see beyond the fear illusion
For when he is at work in you, in that instant
The odds against you are variable
But victory remains constant.
When trouble comes I will activate the divine spirit I received
When trouble comes, I may not even see it coming
But I will surely watch it leave.
