What is next stands on the shoulders of what has been

I have been through hard places

           and rugged terrain.

I found His strength.

I will find it again.

And because the ways I have traveled before,

      I can have no fear.
Even in the wilderness,
     I find His grace.
His faithfulness rises out of the very ground.

Not that "it will work out,"

             but God works it,
    that which He has already
                               intricately designed.

I have seen the impossible.

Guide me,

    O Thou great Jehovah.

We look back some day

                       and laugh.

We can look ahead even now

    and without even seeing the outcome,

delight in Him.

Heading straight into His glory,

   that point of letting go,

even on the most obscure street,

                       His way revealed,

His footprints yet unseen.
