If we are to have hope,
in what we can’t see
why is it then Lord . . .
we don’t trust more in Thee?
If we are to have patience,
while for Your return we await
why is it then Lord . . .
we don’t keep to the straight gate?
If we are to have faith,
that Your Kingdom is coming
why is it then Lord . . .
we don’t keep faithfully running?
If we are to have perseverance,
even though You may tarry
why is it then Lord . . .
we don’t our own cross carry?
If we are to have hope,
if we are to trust and believe
why is it then Lord . . .
we don’t keep our eyes on Thee?
~~~~~~~
“But if we hope for that we see not,
then do we with patience wait for it.”

Yes, there are so many “if’s” in the Bible and I am studying some of them. So I started my “what if” sheep and he has a lot of questions for me 🙂
Will be sharing more of them as I learn from them! ~ Blessings ~
