A thick fog is covering the City And there's a need to switch on the lights, Great care to be taken when driving, Especially when duty calls out in the night.
As I walked to post a letter - The trees looked like ghosts, The fog covered their real beauty and splendour, And I could so easily have bumped into a post.
How this fog has brought to memory - Way back many years ago, When my life was shrouded in a fog Of worldly things - before my Saviour I came to know.
Then one day when singing a closing hymn - The Holy Spirit made it all so bright, The fog cleared and thro it Was revealed - such spiritual light.
Now I could see so clearly - Why That cruel death on the Cross, 'Twas the culmination of Gods wonderful plan - A living sacrifice - the only hope - between God and man.
Oh the joy when the fog of ignorance lifts And the sun of understanding shines thro. Eternal life with Jesus, There's new beauty - even the grass is greener too.
Now day by day - the sun always shines Even thro the densest fog, Prayer and Praise and Thanksgiving Clears the way - as I follow His footsteps - in the sod. 11/12/86 |
