Know then, now it is you…

I quiver as I step these stones But these wracking bones must carry me To yonder hill… where He is.   I know He is there, I know He is everywhere Yet I strive and struggle to reach him To find that He is nowhere   Plodding on… He still beckons… Plod on! For love […]

No doctor can cure your ailment
