The Tides Of Life Rise In Fall.
And Whether It Be Later Or Soon,
We Learn In The Fullness Of Time
That There Will Be Joy And Sorrow;
Peace And Crisis; Sunshine And Darkness.
These Tides Have Risen And Fallen
Since The Beginning Of Time,
And Will Do So Until The End Of Time.
Day After Day We Are Carried Along,
Rejoicing In The Crests Of Glorious
Incoming Tides-Until,
Perhaps In A Single Shattering Moment,
The Tide Recedes.
Scattered Along The Shore Is Our Broken
Spirit, The Wreckage Of A Dream, Or The
Loss Of One Without Whom Life Seems Unendurable.
Yet As Certain As The Turning Of The Tide Is
The Fulfillment Of God's Promises
That As Yesterday Was, And As Today Is,
There Will Be A Tomorrow.
" I Would Not Leave You Comfortless,"
" I Will Come To You."
God's Stars Do Not Shine In The
Canopy Of Eternity,
" His Stars Stands Still Above Our
Ordinary Places."
To Be Able To Pray, Our Father..."
In The Darkness Of Sorrow And Despair
Is To Know The Quiet Confidence Of James Russell Lowell's Words:
Standeth Got Within The Shadow
Keeping Watch Over His Own.
