The lessons of my life flowed like a river
Winding through days, months and years;
I rescued a few but missed so many
From the currents as I saw them passing;
They drowned in a daze of my ignorance,
Unwanted and ignored but yet abiding.
I fish them now from the pool of my memory
And give them life everlasting.
- CATHRYNE ALLEN
I look to Thee to lift me up
When into depths of sorrow
I sink and comfort cannot find;
I look to Thee to lift me up
When nothing makes sense
In my troubled finite mind.
I look to Thee to lift me up
When forsaken I happen to be;
I look to Thee to lift me up
When trials seek to swallow me.
I will look to Thee to lift me up
When farewell I have to say,
Lift me up with tender mercies
In thine arms to gently lay.
