Hello ,
I stumbled across some hymn lyrics a number of years ago, that stopped me in my tracks. I will share them this morning without comment at the end. I challenge you to STOP what you are doing right now for the next 5 minutes, and contemplate the words of this song. I hope you'll be as blessed as I was!
At first I prayed for light:
Could I but see the way,
How gladly, swiftly would I walk
To everlasting day!
And next I prayed for strength:
That I might tread the road
With firm, unfaltering feet, and win
The heaven's serene abode.
And then I asked for faith:
Could I but trust my God,
I'd live infolded in His peace,
Though foes were all abroad.
But now I pray for love:
Deep love to God and man;
A living love that will not fail,
However dark His plan.
And strength and love and faith
Are opening everywhere!
God waited patiently until
I prayed the larger prayer.
-Mrs. E.D. Cheney
Have a great day and God bless!
