LIFE

It is encouraging as we pursue

Our way through scenes of death to know

God has another world of life in view.

Mid this world’s hunger I have amplitude

Of sustenance as under God’s command

To go to Jesus for my seed and food.

There is defence from all that would defraud

God of response and me of joy and peace

Because my life is hid with Christ in God.

There is a flock and, in such company,

The Shepherd leads us to abundant life

Within the pastures of His liberty.

Lifted outwith this piteous world’s malaise

We know affection which surpasses thought

And lift to God a song of gladsome praise.
