IN THE BITTER AND THE SWEET
IT'S DIFFICULT TO SWALLOW
THE HONEY TASTE OF TODAY
KNOWING THE TRIAL OF TOMORROW
TO WALK BY FAITH IS TO HEAR
AGREE AND OBEY.
WE FACE THE SOUR TIMES
WITH THE PLEASANT TASTE
AND HE SAID
"TAKE IT, EAT IT
DEEP INSIDE IT WILL BE BITTER
BUT IN YOUR MOUTH
THESE WORDS WILL BE SWEETER"
FOR YOU MUST PROPHESY AGAIN
THIS HOLY REVELATION
OF PEOPLES OF MANY TONGUES
OF KINGDOMS AND OF NATIONS
IN THE BITTER AND THE SWEET
IN MY SPIRIT THERE'S A LEAP
AND THE JOY IN MY HEART
FINDS ITS WAY TO MY FEET
THOUGH MANY BLESSINGS SURROUND ME
IN THE MIDST OF MY DEEP PAIN,
GOD ALONE CAN LIFT
THE HEAVY BURDEN'S STRAIN
CHRIS GREEN, DURING 40 DAY FAST 1996
