A Blessing In Disguise

Make the best of everything, Whatever may befall,

God will always see you through, He is the Lord of all.

Put your faith and trust in Him,

And soon you’ll realize That what seemed to be a tragedy

was a blessing in disguise.

God has a plan in all He does, What looks like the end for you

Is often a new beginning Of greater things to do.
