GIVEN THAT WE ARE - by John McLeod

GIVEN  THAT  WE  ARE by   John McLeod Given that we are so often guidedLet not your heart be sad when cares pile pelfThe road you tread was long ago decidedThe hurdles corssed placed surely by yourselfA course of obstacles to test the spiritRefine the soul and cause the need to striveTowards the light of God that shines so brightlyFrom which we came, and where we shall arriveAt journey’s end, and after Life’s full growingThe bread we cast shall be as was foretoldA measure of the Love we gave in sowingReturning to enrich ten thousandfold!
