The Master Speaks

"What happened to the years?" I asked,
He said "For everything a time."
"Where are my friends of long ago?"
He said "Beyond the hill you climb."

"Why are my footsteps slower now?"
He said "Tis all within the plan."
"But what of all my hopes and dreams?"
He said "They mellowed with the man."

"But there is still so much to do."
He said "Be grateful for today."
"The road to heaven seems so long"
He said "There is no other way."

"But what of all the things I need?"
He said "and do I not provide?"
"Sometimes I even grow afraid."
He said "I'm always by your side."

"My purse is thin, my coins are few."
He said "Sufficient for the day."
"And often times I'm wrongly judged."
He said "Care not what others say."

"Oh to be peaceful and secure."
He said "All things are thine in Me."
"My cross grows heavy with the miles."
He said "I'll lift it presently."

"The future looks so bleak and gray."
He said "Tis darkest 'fore the dawn."
"But who will share my lonely way?"
He said "You've Me to lean upon."

"No love so lasting as My own,
No power greater than My hand,
For you belong to Me, and this
is all you need to understand!"
