Text: | He's Doing the Best for Me |
Author: | J. M. Humphrey |
Tune: | [Oft times when in God's furnace] |
Composer: | Charles P. Jones |
1 Oft times when in God's furnace,
I'm tempted to repine,
But see in all His dealings
He aims to make me shine.
Refrain:
He's doing the best for me,
To keep me happy and free.
Tho' often I'm tempted to murmur,
He's doing the best for me.
2 My faith is often staggered,
When answers come to slow;
But God doth show great mercy
Sometimes in saying "no." [Refrain]
3 It bringeth untold anguish,
When friends are torn from me;
But pruning's always needful
To make a fruitful tree. [Refrain]
4 My patience oft is tested,
'Neath tribulation's staff;
But God is only trying
To separate the chaff. [Refrain]
