The Prophet

The Prophet

Stooped and frail,

    yet a tower of strength

He serves, and loves—inspires.

Old—worn-out,

    but he willingly does

All that the Lord requires.

Why must he

    endure the pains of life

When he so gladly gives?

How can he

    bear up when he is spent?

Because his Savior lives!

He shows his

    faith by his steadfastness—

A hallmark of his life.

Each day a

    sacrifice giv’n anew

Amidst all mortal strife.

Oh, may we

    from his example true

Learn all that we should do.

That we might

    grow in our faith and works

And find our Savior too!
