In trial, tribulation and trouble,

I say, “God is love.”

?

In illness, weakness, death, sorrow and doubt,

I cry out, “God is love.”

?

In genocide, wars, persecutions,

I declare , “God is love.”

?

To His command? to slaughter man, woman, child and beast,

I shakily affirm, “Somehow, in this, too, God is love.”

?

He? continually proclaims, “Peace on earth, good will toward man.”

And

“My love is always the best and highest for friend and foe alike.”

?

So, with Job, I confidently proclaim, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him,”

for He is only and always, Love.
