One day you'll bid me come to You,
Forget the earthly cares I knew,
I'll gather roses while I may
To offer You a sweet bouquet.
I'll teach my heart a song to sing
Proclaiming all the joy You bring
To those who kneel to You in prayer
And find Your presence always there.
I wanted You so close to me -
So much I had to learn from Thee -
By learning to love others, too,
Is what has brought me close to You.
Now I look back on all the years
Recall the laughter and the tears
And You were there along the way
To fill my cup for me each day.
~ Edna Fontaine
Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me all the days of my life
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Ps. 23:6
