Once Again
by
Barbara Philbrook
Once again that heaviness of heart
is here,
my eyes are full I feel them starting to tear.
I don't know the reason I can't begin to understand,
but I know I'm in the Master's hand.
I can't control the future nor
will I try,
but I can determine to praise God even as I cry.
It does no good to worry or try to understand,
nor is it beneficial to try to plot a plan.
I'll spend the time praising our
God up above,
the one who strengthens me with His love.
Praising the Father for all He's done,
also for the love and salvation offered by His Son.
Praising the Blessings bestowed on
me,
for those I realize and those I neglect to see.
Praising the trials which I periodically face,
I know they are only restrained by His grace.
Praising for what I'm about to
endure,
His strength will get me through of this I can be sure.
Praising for the time I've had to live,
may God find pleasure in the service I tried to give.
May I be forgiven of any
oversight,
because serving my God is what I tried to do right.
I don't know what the future will be,
but I know in my heart God will take care of me.
