A reading from my Daily Prayer book:-
When trouble strikes and fear takes root
and dreams are dry and sense unsound
When hope becomes a barren waste
then doubts like mountains soar around.
Our wandering minds believe the worst
and ask, as faith and fervour fade.
'Has God now turned his back on us,
forsaking those He loved and made?'
God says, 'See how a woman cares,
can she forget the child she bore?
Even if she did, I shan't forget.
Though feeling lost, I love you more.
My dearest daughter, fondest son,
My weary folk in every land,
your souls are cradled in my heart
Your names are written on My hand.'
Beautiful words which can also be sung to any of the tunes of "When I survey".
