“If ” Part 2
by Angel Chew
If you can feel suffering, hurt, pain
And cry out but bear it;
If you can keep your head held high,
When others are defeated;
If you can love someone,
But not let that love own you;
If you can survive hardship,
Knowing that may be useless:
Then you would be a warrior, truly.
by Teresa Komo
If you can stand firm – and have courage,
Being fearless against your worst fear;
If you can find peace with those who have rage,
Or be merciful to those who are in tears;
If you can understand what you have been told,
and proceed with gladness;
If you can grasp and hold what is good,
Just like precious gold;
And do what is right which brings gladness;
If you can trust in the LORD,
He will guide you;
If you can give grace to those who are weak,
then one day they will appreciate you;
If you can pray to God every week,
He will surely answer you.
