When the sun is shining brightly,
& our life is running smoothly.
We find it easy to smile & be pleased,
To praise and give thanks to God.
But when dark clouds begin to gather,
... & our life looks grim & bleak.
We begin to grumble & complain,
& blame God when things go wrong.
It is when the clouds are the darkest,
That we should draw closer to God.
For he is the silver lining in every cloud,
The light in the center of our world.
