I Shall Come Forth As Gold No longer on the mountaintop, The tempests wax fierce and hot; Though the way ahead may seem rough, His grace will always be enough - For when He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

Lord willing, I would like to start posting some more of those poems here, and indicate which ones they are by the tag "seasonsbook". If we (my webpartner or I) have a graphics page put up for the poem, I will also p...
