Tears before Blessing

Composed during B.A. III year

One day as I impatient grew
Ten yards away my pillow I threw
And as I stooped my pillow to take
I heard my heart a murmur make

“Why God why?
Why do You let me cry?
You know all my tears
The reason for my fears
Why don’t you take it away?
Help me as I pray.”

With tears streaming down my eyes
I waited for God’s reply
And as I quietly sat
I felt a gentle pat

“Why dear why?
Why do you sigh?
After this brief pain
Bounteous blessing you’ll gain
And I am close beside
As you in Me abide”.

I then felt a strong hand hold
And was very much consoled

My soul becalmed, “I can face this
No more my will but His
Lord break me and mould me
And make me more like Thee”.
