If Time Would Tell It's 'Wait-and-See'


 Until our internet is working a little better this blog will be like a book without pictures...
(or links:) 


If we would know what high or low was waiting in the days ahead
We would be torn each night and morn between worlds of delight and dread
And we would peer through today’s cheer toward some morrow’s sorrow-storm
And miss the bliss and kiss of This because of Trouble’s looming form

If time would tell and boldly spell its wait-and-see so we could know
We would be bent with sad lament even if we had miles to go
Before we met the darker Yet that drains the rhythm from the rhyme
Our hearts would break for future’s sake and make us old before our time

I’m glad God gives the life one lives in moment-metered miles to brave
We need not bear tomorrow’s care to drive us to an early grave
But trust and pray, each day-to-day, for his divine Presence to lead
His faithful Word is undeterred; our God will supply every need (Phil.4:19)
