1:
Though the mountain hides the skies,
Still I walk, though vision dies.
In the dark, I know Your name—
Faith remains though none explain.
2:
Every valley, every ache,
Marks the path my soul must take.
But You are near—my daily bread,
My whispered strength when hope has fled.
3:
So on I go, one step, one sigh—
I trust Your hand to hold me high.
Grace will meet me in the fight,
And morning comes to end the night.
4:
Still I will walk, though storms may rise,
Though tears may blur my weary eyes.
Your mercy holds, Your promise stays—
And leads me through redeeming days.

💰Gospel Diary Trickle-B Generosity in Crisis – Giving When It Hurts Psalm Chant Style
1.
O Lord, the weight of famine presses,
Yet Your whisper bids me give.
In drought, You call for rivers,
In lack, You stir the hand to live.
2.
My storehouse echoes hollow,
But Your Spirit sings of bread.
You teach me to sow in sorrow,
And reap where angels tread.
3.
The widow gave her final portion,
And found Your mercy near.
So I, in trembling devotion,
Pour out despite the fear.
4.
You are the rhythm of compassion,
The pulse that breaks despair.
In crisis, You birth generosity,
A balm beyond compare.
5.
I gave when it hurt to offer,
And heaven opened wide.
The oil did not run empty,
The flour did not subside.
6.
Your altar is built in suffering,
Your fire descends in trust.
You count the tears of giving,
And raise the humble dust.
7.
So let my hands be open,
Though storms surround my gate.
For You, O God, are faithful—
And generous is Your fate.

📜Storytelling: The Church That Gave Through Tears
The Macedonian churches were poor. Persecuted. Afflicted. Yet they gave—not just what they could afford, but beyond their ability. They begged Paul for the privilege to give. Their generosity wasn’t logical—it was spiritual.
They gave through tears. And heaven smiled.
🗯️Devotional Reflection
Generosity in crisis is a declaration of trust.
It says: “I may be hurting, but I’m still sowing.”
It says: “God is still good, even when life isn’t.”
The Macedonians didn’t wait for comfort. They gave from conviction.
True generosity isn’t measured by ease—it’s measured by faith.
