'This Journey's Got The Best Of Me' Poem by Linda Winchell

Lord you have had me on this journey
Longer than I really felt I should.
I've walked unfamilar miles with you it seems
And haven't seen they've done me much of any good.

So why persist to take me to places?
That I benift you not?
Haven't you much better things to do?
Then to spend it on what I feel I haven't got?

It seems so hard to understand
What it is you're asking me yet to do.
I try to keep it all going down this path
But it's hard to keep falling and feeling as I do.

When I question the tests you've put me through
I have felt your presence and healing power.
And I know It only comes from walking nearer to you dear Lord
Which can only come in every minute of my waking hour.

So I'll continue on this journey, 'Lord'
Until you feel I have learned what it is I should.
And hope that you are pleased with me
In my search for what you knew I always could.
