I Still Have Far To Go

 I still have far to go, to meet three score and ten.. 

There are lessons in each season, so I tarry and I blend.

Though miles ahead awaits me, I think to journey slow..

To inhale every fragrance, and gain knowledge as I go.


My meat at times is absent, and my cup is halfway up..

Sometimes my praise is quiet, like a rabbit with each hop.

Often my confusion, is way ahead of me..

But my heart is never burdened, for greater is HE in me.


My voice at work in sunshine, is more than I can say..

For planting seeds in springtime, means harvest more than hay.

Lowly and most gracious, I am to be a sheep..

In you I put my trust in, with visions as I sleep.


When billows rage against me, I cry out.. Help me Lord..

Withhold not all your mercies, but bless me through your sword.

My sacrifice so simple, is more than just a pledge..

So I sing a new awakening, with the blood as my own hedge.


Under the cedar of Lebanon, I hope to rest awhile..

For the dust upon this journey, is lacking of a smile.

When I ponder in the valley, of what there is in store..

I feast my eyes on Jesus, and heaven's open door.
