“My life is but a weavingbetween my Lord and me;I cannot choose the colors
He worketh steadily.
Oft times He weaveth sorrowAnd I, in foolish pride,
Forget He sees the upper,And I the underside.
Not til the loom is silentAnd the shuttles cease to fly,Shall God unroll the canvasAnd explain the reason why.
The dark threads are as needfulIn the Weaver’s skillful hand,
As the threads of gold and silverIn the pattern He has planned.”
