Keep Going Keep Listening

Douglas Buck "I have learned that stretching of the soul makes us humble. I prayed for patience and am learning to wait. I prayed for faith and am given weakness and obstacles to overcome. I prayed for hope and am given a dark and dreary waste to pass through. But beside me is an iron rod. I'm trying to keep my head up and strengthen my faith in Christ, yet I often feel that debilitating despair at times. Thank you for the reminder and bearing your testimony."

  There’s a stretching of the soul 

When life becomes hard

 And perhaps the end goal 

Our pride to discard 

 There, to pray, solely for relief 

To hold the head up 

Nearly drowning, searching for belief 

A sign from God, love 

 There pray for more faith, to endure 

And before my face

 I see obstacles in my way 

In a dark dreary waste 

 I pray for new strength to pass through 

And there is a rod 

It is something to hold on to 

To the love of God 

 I pray for patience to press on 

And hope fills my heart 

As long as I hold on I can’t go wrong 

I must do my part 

Hoping for what’s ahead keeps me strong

 And I hear God beckoning me along 

 Keep going

 Keep listening 

Faith’s growing 

Love’s entering 

 Keep going 

Keep listening 

Faith’s growing 

Love’s entering
