I Shall Be Glad
Poet: Grace Noll Crowell


If I can put new hope within the heart
Of one who has lost hope,
If I can help a brother up
Some difficult long slope
That seems too steep for tired feet to go,
If I can help him climb
Into the light upon the hill's far crest,
I shall begrudge no time
Or strength that I spend,
For well I know
How great may be his need.
If I can help through any
Darkened hour, I shall be glad indeed.

For I recall how often I have been
Distressed, distraught, dismayed,
And hands have reached to help,
And voices called
That kept me unafraid.
If I can share this help that
I have had, God knows I shall be glad.

    Excellent words of encouragement this morning. Now if only I can realize the truth behind those words. I need to be glad in all the good I do and forget about how my family is towards me. For I am doing the works of God and that alone should make me glad!
