Any thoughts or advice?
The Lord gets many of his strongest workers out of the highlands of affliction.
~Spurgeon
The Highlands of Sorrow
1: Forth from the highlands of Sorrow
Comes many a soul ablaze
With visions of things as yet unseen,
Beyond earth’s hastening days.
2: From out the bitterest of trials
May come the sweetest of songs,
As gold in the blazing furnace tried
By struggles and ills and wrongs.
3: From a heart once broken the Artist
May form Him a masterpiece.
Beauty for ashes be given then,
The fullness of joy, increased.
4: From out of turmoil and doubting may
Come a faith more sure and strong.
The battle won, the hosts of heaven
Will join the triumphant song.
5: From out the valley of death and shade;
A herald of life to come.
“O Death where now is thy sting and where
The vict’ry which thou hast won?”
6: From out the thorn and the scourge and cross;
Salvation, redemption’s might.
From out the grave and the darkness came
The dawn of Eternal Light.
