Faithful Guardian

Faithful Guardian

Just when I think I can’t go on
one more minute or one day
Lord you’re there to encourage me 
as my loving protege.

With grace and love you lift me out
of my despondency,
and when I’ve lost direction,
you light the way for me.

When burdens seem to weigh me down
I see the signs you’re there,
to give me faith and hope again
to overcome despair.

The miracles I see each day
are there to enable me
to see that life is a precious thing
despite adversity.

With hope and love you show me Lord
that life is worth the pain,
There’s much to lose if we give up,
but with life, much more to gain.

Wow! We seem to be on similar planes sometimes, as I too have written about the things we gain in the spiritual sense. This is excellent. :)
