Ruth 1-2
When in life you experience the bitter
One important thing you must consider
Though painful trials can be distressing
Sometimes the bitter will lead you to blessing
Frequently God will delay to deliver
His narrow road does not always glitter
But we have to trust and not start guessing
When darkness all around us is pressing
God's ways and His plans are so much bigger
Still His light at times seems so much dimmer
Though at intervals we can be stressing
Yet step by step we are still progressing
Naomi went through a time that was bitter
Even in tough times she was not a quitter
The loss of her family was depressing
But it led her into amazing blessing
Naomi could not view the whole picture
But she would journey through this the victor
And when you find yourself in times depressing
By faith in Jesus keep on confessing
To Bethlehem He led her in the bitter
God saw her heart and she would not wither
If you hold on to God through the distressing
You will exchange the bitter for a blessing
