Yes, it's been a long, long road,
Winding through the years,
Sometimes bringing happiness ~
Many times tears.

I've seen the noontime darker than
The midnight's empty sky;
I've had the sun appear again
While tears still filled my eyes.

I've had a little company ~
They stayed a little while,
But when the fork came in the road
They left with wave and smile.







I've planted flowers by the way,
But never saw them bloom;
And yet I've smelled the sweetest scent
In someone else's room.

I've caught the hand of one in need ~
I've had to go away;
I've wished for just one hour that
Relief would come and stay.

I've known some friends ~(so dear, so wise;)
That brightened up the day ~
My tears fell by the bucketfuls
When parting came our way.







The winding road has led me well
With One beside to stand,
Sometimes offer sweet support
Sometimes just touch my hand.

The road that winds, the road that's long,
Must one day reach it's goal ~
And welcome home a weary one,
A Heaven for his soul !

Where we will never wander
Or falter on the way ~
Where Sonlight gives us happiness
For an everlasting day !

PSALM 23

The Lord is my shepherd;  I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul;  he leadeth me in the paths
of righteousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, I will fear no evil; 
for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff
they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the
presence of mine enemies:  thou anointest my
head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow
me all the days of my life; and I will dwell
in the house of the LORD for ever.
