Stones Or Gems

There’s a road called life

We each walk every day

And sometimes we encounter

Stones left in our way.

Left by a careless traveler,

They sometimes cause us to fall,

Then down on our knees

In Jesus name we call.

He gently picks us up

Saying, " Child can’t you see?

You can remove the stones

By always following Me.

And you can leave stones

For others to find

Or you can leave gems

Each one of a kind.

For you are the stones

Or you are gems rare,

It all depends on you

If for others you care."

So, polish your gems

And spread them wide,

You'll leave no stones

With Jesus by your side.
