Thought for the Day 5/25/2005
These Things He Hath Promised:
The Lord did not promise all days would be bright,
Or promise we'd never shed tears in the night.
For life is a mixture of sunshine and rain,
Of happy times, laughter, of sorrow and pain.
He did promise always He'd stay be our side
And never forsake us, whatever betide.
He promised His grace for each trial and task,
His strength in our weakness - we have but to ask;
His tender forgiveness, new life from above,
His peace beyond measure, His undying love.
These things He hath promised, these things He imparts
To all who will trust Him with faith in their hearts.
