YOU ARE NOT DONE HERE YET<\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

Sometimes we want to go Home,
\nWhen our life becomes so hard,
\nOft times we have no strength,
\nJust can’t run another yard.<\/p>\n

We feel we have done so much,
\nWhat more is there left to do,
\nWe faithfully preached the Word,
\nSo surely we are now through.<\/p>\n

“Oh God, I have had enough,
\nI’ll leave here with no regret,”
\nThen He answers “Sorry my child,
\nBut you are not done here yet.”<\/p>\n

God knows our total of years,
\nIn His books our number is set,
\nThere is no calling it quits,
\nUntil our years have been met.<\/p>\n

So when things become so hard,
\nWe must rely upon His Grace,
\nHe will help us to carry on,
\nAnd we will finish the race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
