THERE IS A SEASON..

THERE IS A SEASON

So many things soon come and go

Like autumn leaves, they do not last,

One blink and before we know it

Another day has passed.

And what from it can we keep

This all, we want to know,

What meaning does it have

To hold close as our own.

We know we have our memories

But, do they lift us much,

While musing on all we have seen

Of life and war and love.

And when it all boils down

There is nothing we can keep,

When coldness knocks upon the door

And the river's raging deep.

Thus, God will grant us trials

To find Him while we can,

He'll give us tribulations

So Him we'll understand.

For if all is smooth and rosy

We fill our days with stuff,

But, always feel unsatisfied

As if there's not enough.

But, in a time of trouble

We are stripped of all the dross

And have to lean on Jesus

To bear the painful loss.

And the Lord Jesus we sure need

For HE is all we'll know,

When our last breath is taken

And He takes us to His home.
