This is the beginning of a compilation of songs performed by Elisha and Grandpa.
violin and guitar
Story behind the song
This is a song, written by Grandpa, for which Elisha developed violin music. We recorded the instrumental track for this song in the tree house at Elisha's house as part of our music practice for homeschooling. Then Grandpa combined it with his vocals at his house.
Lyrics
Trials come for a short time, then they pass away
You will find that in despair God is always near
At the end of my rope; hopeless, then You came; wiped all tears away
I thought I was suffering for my sin. You assured me my sins were forgiven
The test, more precious than gold, is to bring You glory
It serves to build my faith and to share Your story
You show tender care. You are always fair.
We have but a brief time here in which we can share
Your love to friend and foe; hopeful, that theyll come to walk in Your light
Those who follow You, You will take to Heaven
Where well live in unity, from sin well be free
Well live forevermore in Heavens peace
Well enter Heavens door and live with Jesus
And live with Jesus, and live with Jesus every day
