The Reality of Contentment
Learn well what contentment really means
being happy having all that you need
wise is the person who doesn't grieve
but rejoices in receiving the fruit of His seed
Many prayers been often raised on high
God has answered with a no or wait
yout reaction has not felt to be content
so are you not willing in your present state
Learn well the reality of contentment
Fanny Crosby said what a happy soul am I
blind she was but resolved contented I'll be
though blind she would not weep and sigh
Optimists are people whose glass is half full
so it's the best and happiest way to live
for who's faith is in Jesus Christ alone
have something beyond optimism a jewel
For hope that makes our glass overflow
as having the God of hope, joy and peace
the one who supplies us to be content
receiving what God offers to never cease
(In 3rd stanza I spoke of Fanny Crosby who was a blind hymn writer who has written many great and wonderful hymns.)
