"If We Could See Beyond Today"

[Nelson Bradford]

If we could see beyond today
As God can see,
If all the clouds should roll away,
The shadows flee;
O'er present griefs we would not fret,
Each sorrow we would soon forget,
For many joys are waiting yet
For you and me.

If we could know beyond today
As God doth know
Why dearest treasures pass away
And tears must flow;
And why the darkness leads to light,
Why dreary days will soon grow bright.
Someday life's wrongs will be made right;
Faith tells us so.

If we could see, if we could know
We often say;
But God in love a veil doth throw
Across our way.
We cannot see what lies before,
And so we cling to Him the more.
He leads us till this life is o'er;
Trust and obey.

- Norman John Clayton, 1938

Nelson,
Thank you for this song today.
You always seem to post the right song at the right time for me.
I don't always tell you that , but they truly mean alot to me.
I'm not that "old", but I do appreciate the old songs of the faith that
we don't hear so much these days.
Keep posting them.
Your pictures are wonderful as well.

[Nelson Bradford]

Thank you
