LORD OF ALL 236

            
                                          LORD OF ALL 236

                              "In certain trying circumstances, urgent
                              circumstances, desperate circumstances," 
                              wrote Mark Twain, "profanity furnishes 
                              a relief denied even in prayer."

                              We'd like to paraphrase and re-arrange Mr. 
                              Twain's remarks just slightly, if we could.
                              (It's a good thing Mr. Twain has passed on, 
                              or he probably would have objected to any 
                              re-arrangement of his words, laced with a
                              little profanity.

                              
                              We think from a Christian viewpoint, that
                              the following would be much more appropriate...
                              "In even the most trying of circumstances,
                              prayer furnishes a relief usually denied by
                              profanity."

                              When you are discouraging
                              And your patience flies away
                              And your troubles drive you
                              To your knees
                              Don't bother getting up too soon
                              Just remain awhile and pray.

                              Carry all your burdens
                              Whether great or small
                              To Him who always listens
                              And answers every call.
                              And you will soon discover
                              That He is Lord of all.
