When kept behind providentially closed doors, do not disdain
Would His loving best you endeavor to restrain
The hand of God would guide you to gain
His ways are all planned and never in vain
Through you must often withstand and endure all the rain
His will is sure and His plan is unstained
That He may be seen on your pathway of pain
Is well worth it all and then more again
He will your heart’s satisfaction be
If you would but wait and trust and see
He is all you need and then more
Yet would you run and still play the whore
Oh bend the knee and do not flee
From all the good He has for thee
To share in His pain is never in vain
A cup from Him why would you disdain
Rewards unimagined awaiting thy clasp
His loving hands never failing to grasp
Your life held dear your love held fast
Oh for an eternity the enjoying of Him shall last
His path for you is likely other than expected
May His glory be treasured and His faithfulness respected
For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things
May your fight give you patience and this plight grant you wings
A.B. Seal
