All our nights alight with stars
Would we seek that fairer land
Where we'd never see the dark ?
If all we ever hoped for
Could be gained with just a wish,
Would we always be contented
Or find that something was amiss?
If we were free from pain and sickness
Throughout our stay upon this land
Would we know our soul was perishing
And reach toward that saving hand?
If we never had to shed a tear
Or have a heartache cause us pain
Would we glide right through this life,
Never knowing there was more to gain?
Is that all we want,sunshine and stars?
That does sound perfect for this land.
But we're told in God's word there's more,
And He's holding it in the palm of His hand.
So let's be ever thankful to our loving God
Who lets us have trials we don't understand.
For He knows if our days were perfect
We'd never reach out for His loving hand.
