Encouragement to the injured and down hearted
Mom…God’s wisdom knows no bounds,
He knows of your injury, and that your spirits are down.
He knows of your heartaches and what you’ve gone through,
But remember this MIGHTY GOD is always with you.
You came here with a pain you said was the worst
You said it felt as though you skin had burst
You said it was the worst pain you every had
But with the doctors help now isn’t as
bad
God puts little obstacles in our path each day
To remind us of him when we pray
For prayer is the only way to ask for a cure
And he will always answer your knock on his door.
So Mom when you feel down and it looks like no escape
Remember his words for you he won’t forsake
He wants you to rest and your strength he’ll restore
And by his side you will walk out the door.
Into the arms of the family and friends that miss you so much
To the grandchildren and pets that long for your touch
To the flowers that gently grow in the spring
For without you to tend them they won’t mean a thing.
Your Children all wait and hope you will keep
Your promises to get well and have plenty to eat
For nourishment is to the body is as grace to the soul
So keep your spirits high my mother of gold
Each day will bring you closer to the thing you desire
Each day you will grow stronger as you walk thru the fire
For by only being tested will you eventually see
That God has a plan just for you and for me.
