Are You Willing?

Are you willing to be lonely, have it all stripped away?
Remain in the fire, day after day?
Be a good neighbor when she spits in your face?
Be proud when they trample on your race?
Would you stay in a friendship when you've been betrayed,
Lied about, gossiped... your trust has been frayed?
Surrender your will; work hard when its hard?
Be uncomfortable, your perfect life's been marred?
When its all planned out and you know where you are going?
God slows you down, blessings stopped flowing?
You sow and you sow, no reaping in sight?
Youre tired, your weak, you've used all your might?
Give, not receive; patience in stress?
Not run away when you're life is a mess?
Stay in a marriage in good times and bad,
In sickness and health, feel used and been had?
If a child has strayed, can you pray without ceasing?
Not take out your anger, frustration unleashing?
Will You look to Him... when He seems far and and not near?
Feel youre forgotten, while you shed all your tears?
Not fall into anxiety in times when peace is far gone?
Continue to worship, praise Him in song?
In times where troubles are many, joy left a long time ago?
You're looking for healing, trust when it's coming too slow?
Stay in His Word, Hold onto His truths?
Not analyze when you're confused?
At times when you doubt; or your life seems cursed?
When you've no money in your purse?
Be an example when you suffer in silence?
Can you stay strong in times of violence?
Forgive in the times they dont apologize?
If a family member has severed all ties?
Are you willing to walk with your head held high?
Look to the Son , when no answers of "why"?
Can you be true to your self in the face of temptation?
Walk away from peer pressure , any sins invitation?
Are you willing to 'be' in the quiet and still?
Stay in the moment when your spirits been killed?
Are you willing to follow whenever He calls?
Widen your territory, break down strong walls?
You are blessed if you are willing; Hes ready to give?
Peace when you find out you're not going to live---
Strength in the Storms, A Boat in the flood
A willing Savior, for you shed His blood ---
