Tasted Bitterness
By Dr Marilyn Bouniu
Because I have tasted
A life so bitter
So the good things ahead
Will taste much sweeter
Because I have tasted
A life so bitter
So I am made stronger
To face the winter
Because I have tasted
A life so bitter
So nothing is wasted
To make things better
Because I have tasted
A life so bitter
So the meaning of life
Is so much clearer
Because I have tasted
A life so bitter
So I am more settled
And much happier
Because I have tasted
A life so bitter
God's Mercy and Grace I
Understand better
Because I have tasted
A life so bitter
My dependence on God
Is so much greater
Because I have tasted
A life so bitter
God's loving kindness I
Indeed so treasure
Because I have tasted
A life so bitter
So my walk with the Lord
Is so much closer
Because I have tasted
A life so bitter
So my love for the Lord
Has grown much deeper
