Before You Call

Help is on the way my Lord but not today I know you need a lending hand there is much here to do and I want to say your son left his footprints in the sand mine would have been there, had I been able to walk but with the weight of the world on my shoulders I could barely step on with all that I carried sacks on my back were crammed with boulders. if only I had to carry some stones or pebbles my journey thru life would of been less of a load hills to climb and rivers to cross were most rigorous many seem to reappear as I traveled that unpaved road He saw me struggling and sometimes hitting the dust I waved him by to help others who had more need. To fall without endeavors does not show my character of taste a tired mind and body still has the capability to lead. Though I did not leave my footprints in the sand My hands reached out to others who were falling I ask you Lord to let me stay upon this shore to gain strength to leave footprints before your calling.
