Christian Poems of OVERCOMING

(Various authors)

"Great is the facile conqueror; yet haply, he, who, wounded sore... Breathless, all covered o'er with blood and sweat... Sinks fainting, but fighting evermore -- is greater yet!" --Anonymous

"Have you come to the 'Red Sea' place in your life, where, in spite of all you can do, there is no way out, there is no way back, there is no other way but through? Then wait on the Lord with a trust serene till the night of your fear is gone; He will send the wind, He will heap the floods, when He says to your soul, "Go on!"

"And His hand will lead you through -- clear through -- ere the watery walls roll down, no foe can reach you, no wave can touch, no mightiest sea can drown; The tossing billows may rear their crests, their foam at your feet may break, but over their bed you shall walk dry shod in the path that your Lord will make!"

"In the morning watch, 'neath the lifted cloud, you shall see but the Lord alone, when He leads you on from the place of the sea to a land that you have not known; And your fears shall pass as your foes have passed, you shall be no more afraid; You shall sing His praise in a better place, a place that His hand has made!" -- Annie Johnson Flint

"I walk down the Valley of Silence -- down the dim, voiceless Valley -- alone! And I hear not the fall of a footstep arround me, save God's and my own; and the hush of my heart is as Holy as hovers when Angels have flown!

"In the hush of the Valley of Slience I hear all the songs that I sing, and the notes float down the dim Valley till each finds a word for a wing, that to man, like the Dove of the Deluge, the message of peace they may bring.

"But far on the deep there are billows, that never shall break on the beach; and I have heard songs in the silence that never shall float into speech; and I have had dreams in the Valley too lofty for language to reach.

"Do you ask me the place of the Valley, ye hearts that are harrowed by care? It lieth afar between mountains, and God and His Angels are there; and one is the dark mountain of Sorrow, and one is the bright mountain of Prayer." --Anonymous
