Suffering for Settling

"The God of all grace, who hath called us unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you" (1 Peter 5:10).

The God of all grace who called us to glory,
Will call us to suffer a while for a season.
When life is complete, we'll see our life's story
And know the perfection of grace in His reason.

The God of all grace will bring to perfection
The work that with strengthen and settle your heart,
Just as Christ's suffering, death, resurrection,
And glory were woven with grace from the start.

The God of all grace will soon make it clear
How He, through our suffering, perfected His grace.
Until that day comes, we have nothing to fear,
For no one can pluck us from His strong embrace.
