God Can

God can make the anxious mind
Not fearful anymore
Settle peace upon the heart
So rest can be restored

God can make the hardest test
A testimony bring
God can make the sullied heart
Raise up its voice and sing

God can surely take the mess
With it, a message make
God can lighten any load
Relieve you of its weight

God can even transform pain
A platform to produce
Fix discarded, broken things
Into a tool for use

God can frame your challenges
So changes will be seen
Change your present circumstance
From "is" to "what has been"

God can transform worrying
Set worship in its place
Fear turns into gratitude
And doubts replaced by grace

God can make your problems rise
Upon the wings of prayers
Troubles are withdrawn when we
Cast on Him all our cares
