like the chapters in a book,
By faith we reach out expectantly
turn the page and take a look.
Each volume has a specific size
each complete in our Lord's sight,
He writes His love in many ways,
in sunny days, through darkest night.
He's cast us each as our life's hero,
it's up to us to act the part,
Find the faith to walk rejoicing,
sing His goodness in our heart.
Of course we'd sometimes like to linger
in pleasant resting places,
But time goes on and comes the challenge
of tomorrow's untried races.
Since we cannot see and do not know
the next step He has planned,
Boldly make a new beginning
and trust the ending to His hand.
