Tribulation Is Also Part of God's Plan

[AgnusDei]

Ezra came back from captivity
just to see Israel in sin
Zerubbabel's deeds soon were forgotten
as dust in the vast wind
Despite all the mercy God put in them
Indiference and ungratitude appeared
to reveal the walls
never meant anything to them

The problem wasn't Cyrus or Persia
the problem was their foolish heart
because when things come easy
people will never value them
Not every moment is full of blessings and laughters
Tribulation is also part of God's plan

Then Nehemiah appeared
and his reform began with strength
only to find out years later
that sin took the throne once again
as if nothing ever happened

The problem wasn't Samballat or Tobiah
the problem was their wicked heart
because when things come easy
people will never value them
Not every moment is full of blessings and laughters
Tribulation is also part of God's plan

Nowadays these ancient scenes
are just the same as centuries ago
We build ministries, concerts and conferences
forgetting completely the words of Jesus
Despite His suffering and sacrifice for us
We still play with His name as if it were a cloth

The problem is not the economy or the crime rate
the problem is our prideful heart
because when things come easy
people will never value them
Not every moment is full of blessings and laughters
Tribulation is also part of God's plan
