Oh Blessed Lord to Thee

Oh Blessed Lord to Thee

With eager hands we reach to grasp
a world we can not hold,
while all the world is reaching back
to place us in its mold.
-
As flowers bud and live and die
and soon give up their best,
so you and I will bloom each day
till we be laid to rest.
-
With eager mind we seek to know
the secret of success,
but overlook the best in life
and settle for much less.
-
The flower that we might have been
will never come to be,
till we have learned to lift our hands
oh Blessed Lord to Thee.

This came after reading "Thank You Lord" by Charla. THANKS for the inspiration...James
