Our fives are 6ut fine weavings1 Tfiat God and we prepare,
Eacli Cife 6ecomes afa6ric pfannecf And fasliionecf in His care..
We may not a[ways see just liow Tlie weavings intertwine,
But we must trust tlie Master's Iiane{ AndfoCCow His cfesign1
For He can view tlie pattern
From tlie upper side,
Wliife we must Cook from underneath And trust in Him to guide.
Sometimes a strand of sorrow Is added to His pfan,
And tliougli it's cfijficu[t for us, We sti[[ must understand
Tliat it's He wlio fi~ tlie sliuttfe, It's He wlio knows wfiat's 6est, So we must weave in patience And feave to Him tlie rest...
Not ti[ tlie Coom is sifent
And tlie sliuttfes cease to ffy
Sfia[[ God unro[ tlie canvas And expCain tlie reason wliyTiie dark tlireacfs are as needed In tlie Weaver's skiUju[ fiancf And tlie tlireacfs ofgo[c{ and si(ver In tlie pattern He lias pfannecf.
