Father Take Us By the Hand

Father.....

                              Will you take us by the hand?

                           Oh, lead us to Your Promised Land.

                        Dreams are plenty of peace, so sweet,

                           Come now, make our joy complete.

                                 I lift my eyes, up to the hill,

                                    Who'll come to help?

                                      We know You will.

                                  Lifter, lift us up in faith

                                   Holy verses 7:eighth    

                          And so we'll trust, us who believe; 

                            Unto Your Holy Word we'll cleave  
                       
                             Father, Lead us by the hand  

                                 Toward peace, Joy, Love
                              
                                      By Thy command     

                                               Amen


                                       Matthew 7:8
 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him 
                         that knocketh it shall be opened. 
                                              KJV  

                                   Ecclesiastes 7:8
 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in 
                       spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

I'm with Victor on this one, Betty Jo. You wear your faith like a badge of honor, as you should. Fine penning:)
