John 16:33 - a Poem

Phaidra Glover
Last week, everything was well

This week, a tailspin from hell

Never thought I'd end up here

One more time, with rising fear.

Battle-worn, so hard to win

Can I find some help again?

Why must I endure this pain

Scared by thunder, drenched with rain.

Send Your Holy Spirit, Lord!

As You promised in Your word.

Hold on, now! A thought occurs

When you're sore and scarred by spurs.

God's Son Jesus did endure

Worse than this, now I am sure

We who bless his holy name

Will be tortured, put to shame.

Don't despair, He's overcome

This world that is not our home.

Now I'm glad in suffering

Knowing what my grief will bring.

Peace with Jesus, home to rest

Come on, world, I'll take your test!
