Marching through the times of turmoil
Laden with our cross for Him
Oh! He watches over, around us
Sends us wings of cherubim
Each cautious step brings us closer
And yet His peace surrounds us so
Armed with Armour of love and power
A love so deep, washes white as snow
There are many a beautiful flower
Strewn beside the paths of woe
Open our spiritual eyes, dear Saviour
That we may see the rainbow glow
Protect us, lead us, guide us, cleanse us
On this lonely way to glorious realm
You have promised to never leave us
Lord without you life would overwhelm
So take our hand and ever lead us
To the place where love is sown
Sprinkle our lives with gifts of patience
Joy and peace, more than ever known

Patience, joy and peace. They almost seem contradictory, but not to the one who knows the riches of waiting upon Him. And the photo is such a beautiful keeper! Consider a book by Andrew Murray, “Waiting Upon God”.
