Camel Ride Through Life’s Desert

Proverbs 28:11

The rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor who has understanding sees through him.

Rich man, poor man, beggerman, thief,
in life, they play their part,
Tis no matter what we may see,
Christ looks upon the heart.

Past the scorching sun of noontide
Through the endless grains of sand
To the coolness of the evening
I will trek across this land.

Past the vastness of the desert
Through the barren land so wide
To the prickly thorn and cactus
I will journey on this ride.

Past the lowlands and the tundra
Through the plateau and plain
To the peace that lay before me
I will journey on life’s lane.

Past the reptile and the lizard
Through a creek that’s running dry
To a tumbleweed that’s blowing
I will lift mine eyes on high.

Past the mountains and the valleys
Through the searing heat of day
To the refuge that awaits me
I will slowly make my way.

Past the lone and empty wasteland
Through the wilderness, so deep
To the comfort of still waters
I will close my eyes in sleep.

Past the ridges and the canyons
Through a thousand miles or more
To the splendor found in heaven
I will reach that golden shore.
