A Lord’s Day Reflection: Richard Baxter
November 15th, 2008 by johnMark
This is a wonderful poem to meditate upon. It reminds me of how short I fall and how great a Savior we have in Jesus!
Lord, it belongs not to my care
Lord, it belongs not to my care
Whether I die or live;
To love and serve thee is my share,
And this thy grace must give.
If life be long, O make me glad
The longer to obey;
If short, no labourer is sad
To end his toilsome day.
Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than he went through before;
And he that to God’s kingdom comes
Must enter by this door.
