Hurdle

By Mike Bullock

Walk along the narrow way
A hurdle comes in view
It seems so insurmountable
What do you tend to do
Do you turn around and go
Back where your walk began
Or stay within the shadows
And do the best you can.

Reach up to the outstretched hand
Held by The One who came
To help us with our problems
Our bitterness and shame
He has the answers to our needs
With tenderness He seals
The wounds that life has left us with
Just praise Him as He heals.
