Rest in Me

Rest in Me, the Lord seemed to say
Let me lead you as you walk today
The path is narrow, the climb is steep
The way is long before you can sleep

I cried,“Lord, please don’t leave my side”
He gently said, “With you I will abide”
Take my hand, trust me now
I’ll guide you through, I’ll show you how

Do not fear the angry beast ahead
He has no power for you to dread
I’ll tell him, “Peace, be still”
He’ll quieten down, you’ll see he will

He clasped my hand; it was time to go
I felt His power and feared no foe
I heard the beast give a mighty roar
He raised his hand, he roared no more

The climb was steep; my steps were slow
He lifted me up; I loved Him so
I looked ahead and saw a stream
I asked myself, “Could this be a dream”

He set me down on a soft bed of grass
He smiled at me and said, “You’re here lass”
No longer will there be a need to roam
Rest now in your forever home

I appreciate your reply to this poem.  I love the poem "Footprints."  On the painting for this poem there are only one set of footprints instead of the two sets.  It is because the Lord carried the person during the difficult times.  He has done that for me. Wanda

*sigh* sounds so much like a hymn, Wanda. This poem sings with His gentle love. I love it. I will be watching for your work. I have missed it. ***hugs*** welcome again to passions.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Bob; This adventure in the Lord is our life..Aren't you thankful He always walks with you?  I think of a hymn that I used to hear (as a child) each and every morning entitled "No Never Alone."  It was the theme song for "The Heaven and Home Hour."  My father always listened to that, and the hymn is certainly true.  "He's promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone."  Now, that is a wonderful truth to know, isn't it? (Hebrews 13:5)   Thanks again for your comment.  Wanda
