of The Timely Messenger
It's Enough
Everything we own
May one day, be lost.
Will we have the strength
To survive at any cost?
Will our lives go on
In spite of this event?
Or will our faith and dreams
Be forever spent?
I have lost it all;
There was nothing left.
I thought my life was over
Because of this great theft.
Then I realized
That I was still me,
And this could not be stolen
For Christ has set me free.
Though my loss was great,
And things have been quite rough,
I've learned to live with less,
And somehow, it's enough.
I thought I had it all
Only it had me.
Perhaps this is the truth
My Lord wanted me to see.
Now I have eternal life
That's greater than any earthly thing.
At last I feel safe and loved
Under my Father's wing.
I fear not more what man can do,
Nor of what he may try to steal.
For possessions always come and go
But salvation's eternal and real.
--Janet
