Life Is Brief and Full of Trouble

Life is brief and full of trouble.
God is good and full of love.
Life is grief and pain and shadow.
Life is light and leads above.

Like a flower, all is blooming.
Like a leaf, now dead and dry;
Rich and green and full of promise,
Then cut down, not knowing why.

Chained by need and bound in weakness,
Yet my every fear He knows.
Soon He'll call, and I will answer.
Death will come, and I will go,

Go to God, my Love, my Father,
Turned from all but Him alone,
Freed to love and live and worship,
Cleansed, renewed, and all His own.
