You Will See Me Smile

opposition comes early in the hour
how the thorn bush surrounds the flower
I can feel the pain
of the salt in my wounds
and the burning flame
but it's only for awhile
and you will see me smile

all the seedlings are wilting in the sun
this empty dry land is partial to no one
we've seen these times before
through the eyes of the gray
who have walked through that door
but it's only for awhile
and you will see me smile

now it's my turn to walk through that door
all have come this way
many times before up to the present day

I am back down in the lions' den
by the grace of God I'll come out again
I'll be singing that day
of His delivering hand
and mysterious way
but it's only for awhile
and you will see me smile
