My life has taken many falls
And tumbles 'long the way.
The many trials have left me
In a sure state of dismay.
For with each trial, I tried alone
To tend, and soothe, and mend,
Instead of giving them to God -
And on Him just depend ...
But, I am Learning Lord
It seems I was determined
To carry all the load.
I longed for smoother pathways.
Yet, I walked a rocky road.
Little did I understand,
God waited patiently
To pave a new beginning
With a better life for me.
But, I am Learning Lord
It took a real disaster
To bring me to my knees;
To finally call upon the Lord
And say, "God help me, please."
He came with no delaying,
With strong arms that could hold -
The weight of all my burdens;
He gladly took the load.
and, I am Learning Lord
What a needless cross I carried,
All because I could not see -
What a friend I have in Jesus,
And the love He has for me.
Peace I find when troubles hover,
Though' the outcome is unknown.
For if yet the road is rocky,
I won't walk it all alone.
For, I am Learning Lord

He does not lead me year by year
Nor even day by day
But step by step my path unfolds;
My Lord directs my way.
Tomorrows plans I do not know,
I only know this minute;
But He will say, This is the way,
By faith now walk ye in it.
And I am glad that it is so.
Todays enough to bear;
And when tomorrow comes, His grace
Shall far exceed its care.
What need to worry then, or fret?
The God who gave His Son
Holds all my moments in His Hand
And gives them one by one.
