In My Lord I Trust Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt

IN MY LORD I TRUST

If my heart is heavy laden
And my spirit broken down,
I will look up to my Father
Sitting up there with His crown.

And to me He will give respite
In a place I do adore
For He knows that I am needing
On that far and distant shore.

He will whisper sweetest words of love
As my broken body's sleeping
And tuck them deep inside my heart
For another times safe keeping.

Then when I am awake again
And my spirit does seem down
All I have to do is look inside
To see His precious crown.

Of sparkling stars sweet twinkling
Stirring high up in the sky
Or the beauty of the Sun's rays
Lightly dancing on my eye.

He's given such simple pleasures
To the likes of you and me
And all that each of us must do
Is open our eyes and see.

That all this love He's given
Is again stored in my heart
Each day, each hour, each second
For it has been there from the start.

Though the tears may tumble
And this body turn to dust
My spirit will be lifted
For, in my Lord, I'll ever trust.
