It's a dismal, dreary morning and as I sometimes do
I feel a little dreary and kinda downcast, too,
For let nobody tell you that life's a "happy song"
And that we just keep smiling
when everything goes wrong...
For it just would not be natural to always wear a smile,
For a smile would be a "silly grin" if it covered up a trial...
For there are certain periods when the soul is "sweetly sad"
As it contemplates the mystery
of both good times and bad...
We're not really discontented and we are never unaware
That the Good Lord up in heaven
has us always in His care,
But the soul of man is restless
and it just keeps longing for
A haven that is safe and sure that will last forevermore...
And as I sit here writing this
a thought passed through my mind -
"Why dwell on past or future
or what's ahead and gone behind?"
Just follow God unquestioningly
because you love Him so,
For if you trust His judgment
there is nothing you need know!
