Treasure For Joyce -- Johnson

retourne Fully relying on God's sovereign grace, spurning no more what she knows is His light, Joyce has made a pledge - let God set the pace. He'll help her win though she runs without sight. Spurning no more what she knows is His light, quickly renouncing all "right" to success, gaining the courage God brings to this fight, mission's ordained she once prayed He’d suppress. Joyce has made a pledge - let God set the pace, lifted in heart, she is filled with suspense. Trusting His perfect support, she will face mocking rejection from some on the fence. He'll help her win though she runs without sight welcoming limits, esteeming God's cost. He'll track the course; she’ll depend on his might awed by the treasure which she might have lost. 31 Jan 2015 for Judy Konos, Write a Poem contest after reading Joyce Johnson's poems: Faith Is a Wonderful Thing and God's Wonders
