Pause for Prayer: FRIDAY 10/14

 

About my visit yesterday to the doctor, Lord...

 

My symptoms, as you know, weren't great 

    - still, great enough -   

to warrant having a check-up...

       

I was pleased and relieved when the doctor said,

    "Not to worry, all's well:

        you can expect this as you grow older...

Well, I was relieved when she told me,

    "All is well..."

and pleased to hear that "growing older"

    is the answer to my concerns...

 

And later in the day I wondered,

    "So, all is well - I'm just growing older..."

But, does growing older set well with me?

And, Lord, indeed - it does!

Oh, I hope my growing older

    has a long time yet to go

but looking back I'm grateful

    for the years already gone

and for all the joys and blessings

    treasured deep within my heart...

 

Growing older is pure gift, Lord,

    growing pains - and aches - a sign

that I have more to live, to learn, to do

    before my time is done

so yes, I'm growing older

    and that's all well with me...

 

Amen.

When peace, like a river
Attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot

You have taught me to say
It is well, it is well, with my soul

 

It is well, with my soul,

it is well, it is well with my soul...

 

My soul is at rest in the Lord God alone

From God comes salvation and hope

With God as my rock, I shall not be disturbed

All is well, all is well with my soul.

 

All is well with my soul,

All is well, all is well with my soul...

My god is my safety, my glory, my strength

My refuge when life takes its toll

I trust in my God as I pour out my heart

All is well, all is well with my soul

 

All is well with my soul,

All is well, all is well with my soul... 

O God I will bless you as long as I live

For your grace alone makes me whole

With gladness and joy I will sing of your name

All is well, all is well with my soul...

All is well with my soul,

All is well, all is well with my soul...
