“He Maketh No Mistakes”

My Father’s way may twist and turn
My heart may throb and ache,
But in my soul I’m glad I know,
He maketh no mistakes.

My cherished plans may go astray,
My hope may fade away,
But still I’ll trust my Lord to lead,
For He doth know the way.

Tho’ night be dark and may seem
that day will never break,
I’ll pin my faith, my all, in him,
He maketh no mistake.

There is so much now I cannot see,
My eyesight’s for too dim,
But come what may,
I’ll simply trust and leave it all to him.

For by and by the mist will lift,
And plain it all He’ll make,
Through all the may, tho’ dark to me,
He made not one mistake.
A.M. Overton
