Written at a time when her husband, Will, faced heart surgery this touching poem shows where Grace’s confidence lay
Dear Lord, You know the way I take – my times are in your hands
You’ve placed me here, I know not why, one day I’ll understand.
But here, O Lord, I look to you to be my strength and stay;
For I am weak but you are strong, I trust you for each day.
You know the fears I have within, the disappointments too;
The plans I make, the hopes I have, they are all known to you.
My future Lord in ‘in your hands’ and in Your love I rest;
Please guide me and direct my steps, my way will then be blessed.
Lord be with doctors, nurses too, and all who help me here,
They need Your wisdom, patience, love to ease the pain or fear.
So now, dear Lord, I bring to you myself, my times, my all,
And place them in Your loving hands, trust you, whate’er befall.
Grace White
