TEARS AND SADNESS

TURNED TO JOY AND GLADNESS

My tears and sadness

Have been turned to

Tears of joy and gladness

How did it happen

By faith

By faith in God

By remaining patient in God

All through the storm

Nothing changed on

The outside of me

But something changed within

My tears and sadness

Have been turned to

Tears of joy and gladness

How did it happen

By faith

By faith in God

By remaining in God

All through the storm

Tears and sadness

Turned to

Tears of joy and gladness

Changed by God

Changed by faith

Changed forever more
