This Morning

~

Did you meet the Lord this morning ere you

saw a human face?

Did you look upon His beauty through

His all-abounding grace?

Did you bow in prayer before Him ere you went

upon your way?

Did you ask for strength to carry all the burdens

of the day?

Did you see His will in reading from

His Holy Word, and take

Of His promises a portion, blessed with love,

for His Name's sake?

Oh, how weak and worthless are we,

and our spirits quake within,

If we fail to meet the Master ere the pathway we begin.

How He waits to give His blessing on our lives another day.

Christian, never start with Him.

Let Him speak, and then, obey.
