To Him Be the Glory

To Him be the Glory

        ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~          

I walk the path of loneliness

all rocks are gathered round.

I try to move them one by one

my duty earthly bound.

The burden mighty heavy

with each rock I toss aside.

I look around at no one

who is standing by my side.

“Why do you feel so alone,

when I placed within your reach,

ones to help you down the path;

hardy lessons for me to teach.”

“Lord the load is heavy.

I sometimes cannot see,

all the pillars gathered around

to walk the path with me.”

“I feel as if I struggle alone,

can do it all myself.

Hardened is the journey I tread;

people sit by on the shelf.”

“My child, all around you waits

companions to ease the road.

You need to see the well lit path;

you need to share the load!”

“But will I have failed in my job,

for not embracing the task?

I want to give my all to you

and do all that you ask.”

“You’ve given me the best of you

and that is all I need.

Your witness and your testimony;

a mighty strengthened seed.”

“Go now child and let them see

the blessings that I’ve sent.

Your journey far from over,

your light has not been spent.”

“I see them Lord, gathered here;

all from You to me.

We’ll walk the path, never alone

to You be all the Glory!”

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." --Jeremiah 29:11
