Sometimes God,
has to do some afflicting
so our stubborn hearts
He can begin softening.
For, He wants to remove,
the hardness deep inside
so there will be the room
for Him to fully abide.
Sometimes God,
brings about suffering
so our prideful minds
He can start uncovering.
For, He wants to rid us,
of our self-centeredness
so we’ll have self-restraint
filled with temperateness.
Sometimes God,
has to get our attention
so with our stubborn hearts
He calls for intervention!
