THE WEAVER'S SHUTTLE ~

My life is but a weaving, between the Lord and me;

I may not choose the colours – He knows what they should be.

For He can view the pattern upon the upper side

While I can see it only on this, the under side.

Sometimes He weaves in sorrow, which seems so strange to me;

But I will trust His judgment and work on faithfully.

‘Tis He who fills the shuttle, and He knows what is best;

So I shall weave in earnest, and leave to Him the rest.

Not ’til the loom is silent and the shuttles cease to fly

Shall God unroll the canvas and explain the reason why.

The dark threads are as needed in the Weaver’s skillful hand

As the threads of gold and silver in the pattern He has planned.
