The other morning I was blessed by the Lord with a poem about our care for each other as brothers and sisters in the Lord. I hope you can enjoy it as much as I did.
If Only I Knew
If only I knew what you were fighting today
For then I would get on my knees and pray
If only I knew how I could be of service to you
For then I would give support in all you do
If only I knew the pain you are feeling within
For then I would prove that I'm truly your friend
If only I knew how your body suffered in pain
For then I would beg the Master to make you whole again
If only I knew your emotions were on low tide
For then next to you I would abide
If only I knew you walked in the valley of despair
For then I would show you how much I care
If only I knew the deep seated joy you felt
For then with gladness my heart would melt
If only I knew in the darkness you sit alone
For then I would ask Jesus to step off His throne
If only I knew that you needed a listening ear
For then I would suddenly appear
If only I knew that life was becoming too much
For then I would offer a tender touch
If only I knew how the devil was beating you down
For then I would pick you up and carry you around
If only I knew you didn't think much of who you are
For then I would tell you of the times you have been my star
If only I knew what you are in need of
For then I would give to you in love
If only I knew you had need of me
For then at your service I would be
If only you knew how much I needed you
For then you wouldn't be ashamed to need me too
If only we knew it is God's plan
For then we would support each other over life's span
If only we knew and understood this tinge of light
For then many of our days would be peaceful and bright
