My Lord, My Teacher

My Lord, My Teacher

When I trembled beneath my load

And cried unto my Lord

He answered me very simply

“My grace I do not hoard

Of that which hath befallen thee

Cannot I it command?

Hast thou learned to fully trust Me?

Do you question My plan?”

What a wonderful bestowment!

Unto me He did say;

“My trials are thy refinement

And this My chosen was.

I have chosen what’s best for you

So rest ye in My will

When I spake a word to the sea

The waves were calm and still.”

O Lord, give me of Thy courage

Undimmed by human fear

Enable with Thy power

And draw Thy servant near

Guide me in Thy mercy and truth

When Satan’s darts are cast

Shield me safely in Thy shadow

In Thy hand hold me fast.
