Between the Circumstance and Me
Between the circumstance and me,
A Father’s loving hand
Is working all things for my good.
All moves at His command.
Between the circumstance and me,
A Father’s loving heart
Knows all the problems of the path,
And bears a Father’s part.
Between the circumstance and me,
A Father’s holy will
Is overruling everything
With wisdom and with skill.
Behold the Saviour on the cross,
In deepest agony,
Who suffered to atone for sin,
In love for you and me.
The love that held Him to that cross
To suffer and to die —
That love remains the same today,
And hears His people cry.
The power that raised Him from the dead,
That resurrection power,
Is working for His people’s good,
Each moment and each hour.
Oh, why be burdened then with care?
The love that set thee free,
Such love is evermore between
The circumstance and thee.
And when above the circumstance,
We see God’s hand and ways,
It comfort, peace, and blessings gives,
And cause for endless praise.
