God gives me time to love the right,
Though crowded are my days,
He gives me time to find delight
In quiet thoughts of praise.

God gives me time to rise above
All little, petty things
And feel the comfort of His love,
The joy His presence brings.

God gives me time to share the load
Of those less blest than I,
Then walks beside me on the road
With grace to satisfy.

God gives me time - oh, I would spend
Each precious moment well,
For when God's gift of time shall end,
I must bid earth farewell !

~Why Do We Weep?~

Why do we weep and worry so
When things go wrong and troubles grow?
Have we no faith to just believe
When sorrows cause our hearts to grieve?
We may not understand it all
When disappointments come to call,
But God has promised to be there
If we but call His name in prayer.
We know that He is on our side
For in our hearts He shall abide
Until the rivers cease to flow
And autumn winds refuse to blow
For God is great;
His word is true,
And there is nothing He cant do
So . . .
Rest assured that God is near
And wipe away that silver tear.
