His Mercy Endureth Forever

Kristine Cucinotta Murphy

It’s the days your wife doesn’t feel like holding hands
Are the times you get to show her your covenant stands

It’s the days your husband is short tempered and had enough
Are the times you get to show him unconditional love

It’s the days she just wants to be left alone
Are the times your fruit of the Spirit are shown

It’s the days he does less than he usually does
Are the times you get to be wise as a serpent and harmless as doves

It’s the days she fails and falls short
Are the times you cover her, hidden from the LORD’S court

It’s the days he is tempted, letting the enemy in
Are the times you get to give mercy and forgive him

It’s the days she just can’t be understood
Are the times you get to live out servanthood

It’s the days he is distant, far apart
Are the times with peace you sanctify his heart

It’s the days she is bitter and cold
Are the times you sanctify her with peace 10fold

It’s the days he loses everything he worked so hard for
Are the times you assure him, God has something so much better

It’s the days she falls ill, incapable to do much
Are the times you get to lay your hand on her head with a healing touch

It’s the days he screws up so bad, he just wants to die
Are the times you get to sweat drops like blood to shout out your battle cry

There’s nothing we have to experience, God doesn’t already know
Led by Fire in the night, in the day a cloud to show

It’s the days and are the times, we both have to endure
To love each other in the same ways of our Lord & Savior

How can one forgive, less another needs forgiven
How can one be perfect if they haven’t the opportunity to let love win

Exodus 13:21
And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
