General (Vol. 3)
Success and Failure
- Lord how I love You when I fail,
When times are hard, when I am deep in need;
But may I love You just as well
when You help me to prosper and succeed. - Pain and regret are deep and real,
The pangs of loss and sorrow strangely sweet:
These we accept for, rightly feel,
That we may lay them gently at Your feet. - But praise is hard when luck rides high;
When pride runs in us with ephemeral bliss:
We point our camel at the needle's eye
And only think of praying when we miss. - Offering worship every day,
May we in weakness praise and pray when strong,
Joyful upon the Pilgrim way,
Praising Your Name even when things go wrong.
