Why Wait Until Tomorrow? (Poem)

Why Wait Until Tomorrow? Another year is now over And there's a new one on the way With some fresh New Year's Resolutions And bright promises to make. So many things you wanted to do, So many bad habits to throw away. So many hopeful new horizons Just waiting over the way. All the could'ves, would'ves, should'ves And all the things you wanted to say. But - why wait until tomorrow, When you can begin today?

I Wonder... (Poem)

I Wonder If my life were full of sunshine, with never a rainy day, I wonder how I'd treat my Lord And just how much I'd pray. If all were peace and happiness With never a stormy sea, I wonder if I'd live as close, And could He speak to me? If my heart were never broken And never a tear I shed, Would I search His Word for comfort And let my soul be fed? If through life I knew no sorrow Or my body felt no pain, Would I long for Heaven's glory And Christ's return to reign? But my Father knows the answer, He all my weakness sees; And perhaps He sends the storm clouds To drive me to my knees. So that I may learn to trust Him, Feel secure from all that harms, And that I may feel beneath me His everlasting arms. ~Author Unknown~
