Sometimes God takes away our props
that we might lean on Him,
allows temptations so we'll grow
and triumph over sin.
Sometimes He takes away our strength
for doing earthly things,
to rest our bodies that our souls
may soar on eagle's wings
to heights ne'er dreamed
when busy-ness did all our vision fill.
Let's not resent it when He says
"Come ye apart--Be still",
nor chafe at disappointments
and unexplained delays;
but keep on soaring 'neath His wings
with gratitude and praise!
