“Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ” (Philippians 3:8).

There’s a hole in every human heart
That only God can fill:
There’s a longing where the only joy
Is to do His Holy Will.
We may lose our dreams, we may lose our health,
We may see our wealth take wing,
But we need not fear, for we have our God,
And He is our Everything.

Though our earthly days soon will have their end,
There are better days to come
When we place our trust in the King of Heaven
And salvation from His Son.
So whatever pain we may have to bear,
When the final trumpets ring,
It will all be worth it when we meet God,
For He is our Everything!

“Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me” (Psalm 23:4).

When your soul is deeply troubled,
When your heart is wracked with pain,
Turn your eyes to Christ our Savior,
He Who suffered for our gain.
Though an answer may elude you,
Though you see no end to grief,
Trust the One Who suffered for you,
And you yet shall see relief.

Cast on Him your worst confusion,
Vent your pain and state your case:
He Who gave His all to save you
Never will avert His Face.
Though you still may hurt for answers,
Trust that He will hold your hand;
Though your suffering may continue,
Trust that He will understand.

Courage, friend! All pain is fleeting:
Christ will keep you through it all.
Soon enough the time is coming
When we’ll hear His final call,
When He’ll bring us to His Kingdom
And all pain at last will cease.
Till that day, keep trusting in Him,
And you will in Him find peace!
