Momentary Afflictions
by Brianna Anderson

My cares today are but a whisper in the days to come,
Hard times come to an end, this is true for some.
I know I’ll get through this somehow.
But how have I fallen from your grace?
I no longer see your face.

I know not what tomorrow brings.
Joyful praises are harder to sing.
What is the key? The release from this trial?
Free me now so that I can learn to laugh again and smile.

I have no more strength, nothing left to give.
Make me new again so that I may live.
Bring me through these momentary afflictions,
Supplied with sufficient means of grace;
Closer to the end when I shall see your face
When trials will pass,
Into nothingness at last.
