This I know . . .

This I Know

I do not know what next may come
Across my pilgrim way.
I do not know tomorrow's road
Nor see beyond today.
BUT THIS I KNOW --
My Savior knows
The path I cannot see,
And I can trust His wounded hand
To guide and care for me.

I do not know what may befall
Of sunshine or of rain.
I do not know what may be mind
Of pleasure or of pain.
BUT THIS I KNOW --
My Savior knows,
And whatsoe'er it be,
Still I can trust His love to give
What will be best for me.

I do not know what still awaits
Or what the morrow brings,
But with the glad salute of faith
I hail its opening wings!
FOR THIS I KNOW ---
That in My Lord
Shall all my needs be met,
And I can trust the heart of Him
Who has not failed me yet.

John's cousin Angi emailed this poem to me today. Her husband passed away in January of a heart attack. He was a pastor. Angi's reliance upon God and her strong faith continue to be such an example to me. Please remember her and their fellowship in your prayers.

I love the last part of this poem . . . For this I konw that in my Lord shall all my needs be met, and I can trust the heart of Him who has not failed me yet! . . .AMEN!
