My Blog

if my days were untroubled
and my hearth always light
would i seek that fair land
where there is no night;
if i never grew weary
with the weight of my load
would i search for god’s place
at the end of the road;
if i never knew sickness and never felt pain
would i reach for a hand
to help and sustain
If i walked not with sorrow and lived without loss
would my soul seek sweet solace
at the foot of the croos;
if all i desired was mine day by day
Would i kneel before God
and earnestly pray;
if God sent no “winter”
to freeze mke with fear
Would i yearn or warmth
of “spring” every year;
i ask myself this
and the answer is plain
if my life were all pleasure
and i never knew pain
i’d seek God less often
and need him much less.
