The Weaving
(Chosen by Les)
My life is but a weaving between my Lord and me
I cannot choose the colours, He worketh steadily.
Oft time he weaveth sorrow and I in foolish pride

Shall God unroll the canvas and reveal the reason why.
The dark threads are as needful in the weaver’s skillful hands
As the threads of gold and silver in the pattern He has planned.
Happiness keeps you sweet
Trials keep you strong
Sorrows keep you human
Failures keep you humble
Success keeps you glowing
But only God keeps you going
Do not grieve for me.
