Gladly leave each anxious thought behind
Let love’s light shine upon each circumstance
Simply trust though you cannot see
You will find consolation when shadows fall
The art is to travel patiently.
Remember that harbouring dislike for someone
Can darken the path as you go,
The things which you turn your attention to
Are most likely to blossom and grow.
Gladly leave each anxious thought behind,
Giving thanks for the grace freely sent,
We fail to appreciate our daily blessings
When nothing stirs the heart’s content.
‘Tis only once we pass this way
Believe and stand on the written word
Assured that no defeat of the enemy
Can overcome the purpose of the Lord.
Doreen Craig.
