Billy Graham once said, “I trust Jesus with all my tomorrows, knowing that He will solve the mystery of life beyond the grave.” That same spirit of trust and surrender is reflected in the words of his wife, Ruth Bell Graham.
In this poem, Ruth reminds us that we can place every hope, dream, longing and heartache at the feet of Jesus. Whatever we may be carrying today, we can entrust it to the One who remains faithful through every season and circumstance.
Lay them quietly at His feet
one by one:each desire, however sweet,
just begun;dreams still hazy, growing bright;
hope just poised, winged for flight;
all your longing each delight—
every one.
At His feet and leave them there,never fear;
every heartache, crushing care—
trembling tear;you will find Him always true,
men may fail you, friends be few,
He will prove Himself to you
far more dear.
