"I pass through a vale of tears
but bless thee for the opening gate of glory
at its end.
Enable me to realize as mine the better,
heavenly country.
Prepare me for every part of my pilgrimage.
Uphold my steps by thy Word.
Let no iniquity dominate me.
Teach me that Christ cannot be the way
if I am the end.
that he cannot be Redeemer
if I am my own savior,
that there can be no true union with him
while the creature has my heart,
that faith accepts him as Redeemer and Lord
or not at all."
- Valley of Vision
"O Lord, how long shall I cry for help"
"Look among the nations, and see;
wonder and be astounded.
For I am doing a work in your days
that you would not believe if I told."
- Habakkuk 1:2,5
"Though the fig trees should not blossom,
nor fruit be on the vines,
the produce of the olive fail
and the fields yield no food
the flock be cut off from the fold
and there be no herd in the stalls
yet i will rejoice in the Lord;
I will take joy in the God of my salvation
God, the Lord is my strength,
He makes my feet like the deer's
He makes me tread on the high places."
- Habakkuk 3:17-19
