Encouragement
They Lifted Me
They Lifted me up when I was too tired
to go yet another mile;
They scooted beneath my heavy arms
and held me up ~ all the time sharing a smile;
They even sang songs as we journeyed;
and whispered encouraging words;
They gave me a thousand reasons why
I couldn’’t forsake my Lord.
They pointed out things I’’d forgotten ~
that brought a smile to my face!
They woke up a dream for the future
that I would so readily embrace!
I’d like to be that sort of encourager...
(It’s a gift from God I know.)..
And how many pilgrims would perish
But for others who treat them so?
I know that there will be millions
Of Pams and Jeans in that Land;
And many will say, “Couldn’t have made it
without the help of such friends!”
They’ll probably blush ~ say “It’s nothing...”
But everyone there will know
They were led by God’s Holy Spirit,
He showed them the way to go!
