Unto Those of Us Who Seek

It’s easy to go through life
stressing from day to day.
Those of us who draw closer 
have chosen a better way.

We know the weight of problems 
that seem as if they will stay.
Yet we know the Solution
to each problem that we face.

We remember that He said,
we are not of this world.
And the truths that He taught us;
worth more than priceless pearls.

But a deeper place is yet
to those who stay and abide.
Christ keeps us on the right path,
the one that is true and tried.

Listening to His counsel
and the words that He would speak
is His keeping through this life
unto those of us who seek.
