If my days were untroubled ~ And my heart always light 
Would I seek that fair land ~ where there is no night? 
If I never grew weary ~ with the weight of my load 
Would I search for God's peace ~ at the end of the road? 
If I never knew sickness ~ and never felt pain 
Would I reach for a hand ~ to help and sustain? 
If I walked not with sorrow ~ and lived without loss 
Would my soul seek sweet solace ~ at the foot of the cross? 
If all I desired was mine ~ Day by day 
Would I kneel before God ~ and earnestly pray? 
If God sent no "WINTER" ~ to freeze me with fear 
Would I yearn for the warmth ~ of "SPRING" every year? 
I ask myself this ~ and the answer is plain. 
If my life were all pleasure ~ and I never knew pain - 
I'd seek God less often ~ and need Him much less 
For God's sought more often ~ in times of distress. 
God has shown me mercy ~ God has shown me grace
God allows me to see an angel ~ Every time I look at your face. 
I know I can face anything ~ I know I can cope, 
Having you in my life ~ constantly gives me hope. 
I'm grateful for my sorrows ~ my troubles have been few, 
If I had taken another path ~ I may never have met you.
Adonis
