~*~ Pathway Of Pain ~*~
|
|
|
|
|
|
If my days were untroubled
And my heart 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 peace
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 cross?
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If all I desired was mine
Day by day....
Would I kneel before God
And earnestly pray?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If God sent no "WINTER"
To freeze me with fear
Would I yearn for the 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
For God's sought more often
In times of distress.
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
And no one knows God
Or sees Him as plain
As those who have met Him
On "THE PATHWAY OF PAIN".

~ God's Promise ~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
God didn't promise days without pain,
Laughter without sorrow or sun without rain.
But God did promise strength for the day,
Comfort for the tears and a light for the way.
And for all who believe in His kingdom above,
He answers their faith with everlasting love.
