NOW AND THENIve played in summer sunshineand Ive been left out in the rain.Ive known moments of sweet ecstasyand Ive lived with fear and pain.Ive run barefoot through meadowand nearly drowned in tear-filled streams;but even in the worst of timesIve clungby faithto dreams.And so, my friend,I thank the Lordfor all Hes brought me through.If I hadnt been where I was thenI couldnt be here now with you.I will never forget your commandments,for you have used them to restore my joy and health.Psalms 119:93
