“I Will Take You By the Hand”
A field of snow all
white and clean -
With awe I view its
glistening sheen:
No tracks I see,
just purest white,
Which glimmers even
in the night.
Just so, each
morning dawns so clear,
With yet no tracks
of dirt or smear;
An opportunity from
God
To choose just how
it will be trod.
A field of white is
each New Year,
Which as of yet has
no shed tear;
And at the threshold
of its door
Stands Christ with
all His treasure store.
His offer stands so
true and strong,
“I’d love, with you,
to walk along;
To be your Guide
each day and night,
Your Refuge,
Strength and leading Light.
For every step I
have rich grace
To pour on hardships
you may face;
My love, unending,
will surround
Your every step in
un-trod ground.
So at the dawn of this
New Year,
I welcome you, My
child, Come near:
For I will take you by the hand
And lead you to a
better land!
Keturah
