Lord, why do I try so
to avoid calamity . . .
when this may be just the way
you've planned to use me?

Why shy away from painfulness
hide from the salty tears . . .
protecting at any cost
from anxieties and fears ~

Then I hear Your voice
Lord, so tenderly say . . .
"Because YOU ARE HUMAN
with feet made of clay" ~

"It's exactly for these reasons
I placed "the call" 'pon you . . .
to share your faith in me with others
let them know my point of view" ~

"There would be no testimony
dear child, without a test . . .
in the valley grow the sweetest fruit
oh, I always know what's best" ~

Then I feel the gentle brush
of a precious angel's wing . . .
know she's just been dispatched
unto me some joyfulness to bring ~

Feel each burden being lifted
ahh ~ they're taken with such care . . .
learn another hard~won lesson
LOADS ARE LIGHTER WHEN WE SHARE !!!
