GROWTH
1 stood the children, straight and
tall, By last year’s mark* upon the wall. Another year! How soon they go, And see how fast the children
grow! And then I thought of how God’s
Word Says “Grow in grace and in the
Lord.” And as I knelt with God alone He asked me gently, “Have you
grown ?” Can you look back and understand How sun and rain came from my
hand ? The trials which my love decreed, Did they not prove Me real
indeed ? Or would you change a single hour And miss the knowledge of My
power? Do I seem nearer when you pray l"han just a year ago today? And does your zeal for lost men die Or greater grow, as years go by?” What deep and searching questions
these! They kept me long upon my knees'; Before His gaze my soul must own How very little it had grown. Dear Lord, this year my all men
see That I grow daily more like Thee.
