What Should I Learn?

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)

Rhymed
In recent years when times were bad,
I thought about the life I had
And asked the Lord to please slowly
Reveal what He is teaching me.
To make it clear and very plain
So, I won't live my life in vain.
I thought I heard a whisper say,
"Believe and love me every day!
You do not need to understand.
Please trust Me and my perfect plan!"
So, Lord I'll do my best to wait,
Believing You are not too late.
And there is love in all You do.
So, yes Lord I will trust in You!
