Count Your Trials a Joy
By Matthew Kalliman
James 1:2-5, 12-13; Romans 5:3-4; I Corinthians 10:13; Revelation 20:4, 6; 22:5
Life is a classroom that we are attending
And there is a purpose for living and going to school
God is the teacher and we are the students
The clay of the Potter who uses trials as a tool
School was made to enjoy
Not to disturb or annoy
And life is a classroom
So count all your trials a joy!
Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden
Were given a trial but the purpose was not to make them sin
God is not tempted by anything evil
Now, perfect is He and He wants us to learn to be like Him
Learning was made to enjoy
Not to disturb or annoy
And life is a classroom
So count all your trials a joy!
There can be pain as we grow to perfection
But those who love God find that
all works together for their good
Faithful is He in control of the circumstance
You won’t be tried more than
you can endure the way you should
Growing was made to enjoy
Not to disturb or annoy
And life is a classroom
So count all your trials a joy!
Life is a classroom that we are attending
And there is a purpose for living and going to school
Learn all your lessons and gather experience
’Cause graduation will come and then you’re going to rule
Living was made to enjoy
Not to disturb or annoy
And life is a classroom
So count all your trials a joy!
There is a purpose for living and going to school
’Cause graduation will come and you’re going to rule
And life is a classroom
So count all your trials a joy!
