We Know Not What Showers

We know not what showers over the mountainside
And, must heed the voice of the Spirit our guide
For there's floods which may come to wash us out
And, we need faith- when it's easy to doubt

We have revelation spoken from God to man
A promised gift that can impel us to “I can!”
The Lord has not left us unassisted
He's our strength. And, for us, He persisted

He gives testimony, prophecy, and comfort
He teaches us restraint, and gives us full support
It's a grand privilege to every true Saint
We're informed, and we can run and we'll not faint

Although we may not see our Lord from face to face
His blessings now extend to all the human race
Our Savior endured pain unassisted
Yet, with faith and covenants, we are assisted
