However far the rivers flow,
whichever way the sands blow,
whether gardens wilt or grow,
whether one be God’s friend or foe,
with the one taken high, the other low,
each after reading His Word should know,
it is God who ultimately declares yes or no
over each circumstance of blessing or woe.
So, may we each be wise with open eyes,
receiving God’s love, His Son of above,
before one dies, as one’s soul flies,
either down to grieving sighs
or up to open, joyful skies.
Oh, why do you still try to run and hide?
It’s only now that His arms are open wide.
