I Am Learning, Lord

I Am Learning, Lord

My life has taken many falls

and tumbles 'long the way.

The many trials have left me

in a sure state of dismay.

For with each trial, I tried alone

to tend, and soothe, and mend,

instead of giving them to God -

and on Him just depend...

But, I am learning, Lord.

It seems that I was determined

to carry all the load.

I longed for smoother pathways.

Yet, I walked a rocky road.

Little did I understand,

God waited patiently

to pave a new beginning

with a better life for me.

But, I am learning, Lord.

It took a real disaster

to bring me to my knees;

to finally call upon the Lord

and say, "God help me, please."

He can, with no delaying,

with strong arms that could hold -

the weight of all my burdens;

He gladly took the load.

And, I am learning, Lord.

What a needless cross I carried,

all because I could not see -

what a friend I have in Jesus,

and the love He has for me.

Peace I find when troubles hover,

though' the outcome is unknown.

For if yet the road is rocky,

I won't walk it all alone.

For, I am learning, Lord.
