The Knowns in our Unknowns




The sun rises and then it sets
Upon what was or lies ahead
The hours between; life’s stepping-stones
In our journey of unknowns

With gasps of faith and hope we strain
Against the tides of ill refrain
But there is One who hears each groan
In our journey of unknowns

We cling to Truth eyes cannot see
Yet He consoles our misery
For we will never be alone
In our journey of unknowns

The path of hope is narrow, straight
Leading to Triumph’s gleaming Gate
His arms of mercy, bastions; strong
In our journey of unknowns

Step by faltering step we come
Toward the veil twixt earth and Home
Love’s nail-scarred Victory pleads us on
In our journey to His Known

Glynis, love, hugs and prayers.

    I am feeling very full right now, Janet. Full of gratitude to you. Thank you so much for these beautiful Scripture-led words. Your gift to me this morning soothes me like balm for my soul. Bless you for being so full of compassion and allowing it to burst forth on the page.

    Your Welcome:)I wanted to say I would love to do more but that would be to say there is something greater than prayer to He who holds it in His hands...so I continue to pray.

    Love<3
