When Trials Turn to Praise

All of my trials you'll turn to praise

All life's denials are part of your grace

Through all of the miles I'll come to a place

Where I feel your embrace.

When trials turn to praise.

Though troubles mount I will nevr be lost

I'll choose to count them as part of the cost

I'll set my sights on You and be released

They pale in the light of your power and peace.

What we see as blessing may truly be a curse

And so I am confessing that I will seek you first

In the trials and the turmoils

The suffering and the pain

I will see you turn my loss to gain

Though Satan my tempt me it's just a test.

For you have allowed it so I may be blessed.

I will let go of striving and in you I will rest

All my days

As trials turn to praise.

All of my trials you'll turn to praise

All life's denials are part of your grace

Through all of the miles I'll come to a place

Where I feel your embrace.

When trials turn to praise.

The world will see God's grace and be amazed

When trials turn to praise.
