When I feel forsaken
In my greatest moments of despair,
I yearn to feel You near me,
I wonder if You are there.
I know You are watching,
And whispering for me to know:
To know your strength to conquer,
Some moments you have to face alone.
I understand, it has to be so,
I faced mine at Calvary long ago.

I carry my cross every day to the foot of Calvary
Where You carried yours so valiantly to the top;
I wait for You there to lift me
To the foot of Your gilded throne.

I will scatter the seeds of Your love
Along humanity’s path
To feed the hungry souls
For many years;
Until each cared for soul
Will pave the trail of my happy tears.

Thou art my light,
My honourable Prince of
Peace,
Who will prepare the way
For me to go where
I have not gone before.
Wherever you send me
I will eagerly go
And honour Thy name.
To the ends of the earth,
Over mountains,
And over the seas;
Light my way, and in the
end
Bring me home to Thee.

I
stood at the veil
As
You were about to leave
Sorrowing
that not all would believe.
I
prayed for Father’s power
To
protect Your gentle heart
From
the blow that might tear You apart.
I
knew my soul You would save
And
all Your promises You would fulfil
I
stood at the veil, unable to leave,
Holding
Your crown for You to receive.
I
stood and waited that fateful day
In
awe of what You did to pave the way.
I
could scarcely comprehend
Your
godly enduring might
I
stood at the veil and gave You my heart.
- CATHRYNE ALLEN
(The Symphony of Suffering by Aeron Brown)
I
will scatter my prayers upward
Like
birds in flight
reaching
for Thy throne;
I
will trust in Thy wisdom,
I
will surrender my soul,
To
see more clearly
my sacred path home.

I wish I could be grateful
For every fallen tear
And accept my trials
Without a trace of fear.
But what would life be
Without the love notes sent
From heaven’s gilded gates
And written by His pen.
