The voice of my Lord is clear <br />The tone audible in my heart <br />His distinct prodding obvious <br />But the pathway a shuddering <br />The sight a-recoil to my heart <br />A dark dreary wilderness trail <br /> <br />Faith tightens His hold on me <br />Steadies, assures my footsteps <br />Hope softens my unwillingness <br />A joyful symphony plays within <br />My being, the melody uplifting <br />My spirit rises, my soul rejoins <br /> <br />My heart unfastens and expands <br />And welcomes My Lord’s leading <br />The path still dreary, still unclear, <br />But He leads and guides me along <br />The path He’s Chosen for my growth <br />And I am content to walk with Him<br /><br />Oyekake Satty Joshua<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/assured-by-faith/
