As I wander down life's winding path, with chasms on each side, I try to keep my eyes on God and with his word abide. I try to do the many things I know he wants me to For on this earth I've little time cause I'm just passing through. I know that every step I take requires his guiding hand. And by myself, I would be lost to seek without a clue, the path to everlasting life while I am passing through. Just like the pilgrim on life's road Eve faith in Jesus, who will guide me in the wilderness while I am passing through. So with a bowed head, I ask my Lord correct me when I stray and give me strength to overcome temptations everyday. Then when my life isfinished and my deeds He does review. I'll know I did my very best, while I was passing through. Reverend Johnny R. Hampton ~ Presiding Good Hope Missionary Baptist Church Prayer.......................................
