Stepping Stones


The Lord came to me like a dream one day and asked,
"Why do you sorrow?"
I answered, "Lord my life is so full of pain,
I can't face one more tomorrow."~

~The Lord sat down beside me,
and gently took my hand.
He said,
"Let me explain to you and then you'll understand.~

~Each sorrow is a stepping stone
you must surmount each day,
And every stepping stone you climb
is a sorrow that's passed away.~

~The road of life is a mountainside,
with crevices in which to be caught,
But as you struggle on your way,
I the Rock, will lend support.~

~Every stepping stone you climb,
makes spirit and heart grow strong.
Exercising character and faith
this road seems painful and long.~

~The way is paved with stepping stones,
to uplift your heart and soul,
Though difficult they aid your way,
to a City paved with gold.~

~I know that you are tired,
for I too have walked this way,
My sorrows did they multiply,
but I cleared many stones away.~

~I left my rock to lift you up,
I left behind my story.
To give you strength to make your climb,
to that special place in glory.~

~And never fear, the Rock is here,
You'll never climb this mountain alone
Surmount life's sorrows, continue on,
For they are but stepping stones.~
