Life is like a mountain railway,<br />With an engineer that's brave;<br />We must make the run successful,<br />From the cradle to the grave;<br />Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels;<br />Never falter, never quail;<br />Keep your hands upon the throttle,<br />And your eyes upon the rail. <br /><br />Chorus:<br />Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us,<br />Till we reach that blissful shore,<br />When the Angels wait to join us<br />In Thy praise for evermore. <br /><br />2. You will roll up grades of trial;<br />You will cross the bridge of strife;<br />See that Christ is your conductor<br />On this lightning train of life;<br />Always mindful of obstruction,<br />Do your duty, never fail;<br />Keep your hands upon the throttle,<br />And your eyes upon the rail.<br /><br />Chorus: <br /><br />3. You will often find obstructions,<br />Look for storms and wind and rain;<br />On a fill, or curve, or trestle<br />They will almost ditch your train;<br />Put your trust alone in Jesus,<br />Never falter, never fail;<br />Keep your hands upon the throttle,<br />And your eyes upon the rail.<br /><br />Chorus: <br /><br />4. As you roll across the trestle,<br />Spanning Jordan's swelling tide,<br />You behold the Union Depot<br />Into which your train will glide;<br />There you'll meet the Superintendent,<br />God, the Father, God the Son,<br />With the hearty, joyous plaudit,<br />"Weary Pilgrim, welcome home."<br />Chorus: <br /> <br />it is early morning here. the day is just beginning and i will keep this poem that you wrote for julian and this poem which you shared with us and i will have that hymn playing in my heart and be thankful for the engineer who is guiding, and i will be looking forward to spring...hey that days are getting longer already!<br />god's blessings in you david...from terry<br /><br />ps david...when we were taught about the trinity as children in sunday school i will never forget one teacher telling us...look at a railway track..it has two tracks and in the middle the wood is touching them on each side and joining them....look way down and as your eye sees in the distance, those two rails and the centre..they are ONE!<br />just amazing david...god the father, god the spirit and god the son!Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08917338886406940158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3700555217961835254.post-6958923230354039222010-01-06T00:18:20.830+00:002010-01-06T00:18:20.830+00:00David,
