I’m cleaning up my study at the moment and organising the many bills and statements into logical piles so I can put them in my new drop-file cabinet from Ikea. 🙂 I came across this wonderful poem that I received many years ago from a fellow Christian in the same department when I was still in Citibank Jakarta. It’s almost like the Christian version of my favourite poem ‘If’ by Rudyard Kipling. I don’t know who wrote this poem but I thought I should share it with you. It gives me encouragement in my current situation as well.
Depend on Me – Jonathan Michaels, Robert Mason
When the hope you had has disappeared
And you have lost your will to try,
And you think your ship has just come in
But it keeps on passing by;
When you have almost gained the victory,
And you have left the rest behind,
And the marathon has slowed its pace
As you reached the finish line,
And you round the final corner, but you fall,
Depend on MeWhen your life is filled with emptiness
And your friends have said goodbye,
And the hill becomes a mountain
As your troubles multiply;
When your trials get too much to bear,
And you are standing all alone,
And the feeling way down deep inside
Is the worst you have ever known,
And you need someone to count on,
But no one’s there,
Depend on MeDepend on Me,
When the world has let you down
Depend on Me,
When you feel you are losing ground
Depend on Me,
When your love has been denied,
When you have lost your earthly pride,
You can depend on Me.
