It could be worse

1 Corinthians 15:57 

57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

 

It could be

 

It could be worse my brother look at the pain around.

Why should you even bother to feel sorry for yourself?

Think about health and hunger and the treasure you found

In Jesus Christ and others whom He drew into Himself

 

It will be fine my brother if you learn to die to self

If at the thought of living you crucify self daily

The resurrection will come alive in elevation you can tell

To rise beyond fleshy desires as in such it will not fail ye

 

It is all right my brother to fall now and then.

If when you get to your knees pause there for a while

To reach for the helping hand that reaches out to them

Who hunger for repentance with a uncertain smile

 

Now get strength my brother ... stand up in Jesus Christ

Place your trust in Him and He will fill you with His faith

Join His mighty army ... that in His chosen day and time

Prepares His church for victory in truth for the final day
