Dear Sister Azure, It isn't exactly the poem you asked for, but it came to mind when I read your post. It is by John Newton (the man who wrote "Amazing Grace"). In Him, Doc Prayer Answered by Crosses I ask'd the Lord, that I might grow In faith, and love, and ev'ry grace, Might more of his salvation know, And seek more earnestly his face. 'Twas he who taught me thus to pray, And he, I trust has answer'd pray'r; But it has been in such a way, As almost drove me to despair. I hop'd that in some favour'd hour, At once he'd answer my request: And by his love's constraining pow'r, Subdue my sins, and give me rest. Instead of this. he made me feel The hidden evils of my heart; And let the angry pow'rs of hell Assault my soul in ev'ry part. Yea more, with his own hand he seem'd Intent to aggravate my woe; Cross'd all the fair designs I schem'd, Blasted my gourds, and laid me low. Lord, why is this, I trembling cry'd, Wilt thou pursue thy worm to death? "Tis in this way," the Lord reply'd, "I answer pray'r for grace and faith. "These inward trials I employ, "From self and pride to set thee free; "And break thy schemes of earthly joy, "That thou mayst seek thy all in me." |
