For The Heartbreak - Official Lyric Video - Downhere

This song is based on James 1:2-4 and was written by Jason Germain and Marc Martel.


"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."

"How can a day be a day without a night?

How can a win be a win without a fight?

I will not be shaken by the troubles up ahead

I'd rather trust Your goodness instead

Thank You for the heartbreak 

Thank You for the pain

Than You for the sadness

On the gloomy days of rain

Thank You for the hard times

Have a reason and rhyme

Thank you that the healing

makes the the beauty shine

Thank You for the heartbreak

How can a love be a love without a cost?

How can a life be a life without the loss?

No, I won't trust my senses over anything You say

It's harder, but it's better this way

When there's no sign of You

When I'm lost, hurt, and used

You are there hurting, too

Even in my worst times

You're my reason and rhyme

Thank You that the healing

makes the beauty

It makes the beauty shine

Thank You for the heartbreak."

"Thank you for the heartbreak, Thank You for the pain." I don't know about you but I find it hard to be thankful for heartbreak and pain. The question is, "How can I find pure joy when facing trials?" In all truth I guess I have not faced trials, pain and heartache in the right way. I didn't see that on the other side of the trial, the pain and the heartache; that I could be strong, that I could have perseverance through it all and that it would help me to be mature and feel complete and confident. I believe that these verses are a promise to me directly from God's Word.

Lord Jesus, forgive me for running when trials and painful things come my way. I ask you to help me look at them differently. Help me see that in the process of facing them I can have joy knowing that You are with me at all times, even when I may feel alone. I need Your wisdom each step of the way. Thank you for Your unfailing love for me.
