Stones Or Gems

There’s a road called life
We each walk every day
And sometimes we encounter
Stones left in our way.
Left by a careless traveler,
They sometimes cause us to fall,
Then down on our knees
In Jesus name we call.
He gently picks us up
Saying, " Child can’t you see?
You can remove the stones
By always following Me.
And you can leave stones
For others to find
Or you can leave gems
Each one of a kind.
For you are the stones
Or you are gems rare,
It all depends on you
If for others you care."
So, polish your gems
And spread them wide,
You'll leave no stones
With Jesus by your side.

A Request

Should our future turn out otherwise,
Than we with our young eyes today expect,
If we must bear our heavy burdens
For many long years to come,

If many Mays will come like this one,
And if our houses bear no festive decorations,
If like now the sun must long shine
Without our flags flying throughout the land.

If that should be I have but one request,
That we should have a mighty miracle,
So that the old, who have suffered so much,
May once again look into our President's eyes.

Then they will not have to die
In uncertainty and desperation,
Then they will have a happy confidence in victory
To carry them through their final dying days.
