"He Maketh No Mistake"My Father’s way may twist and turn
My heart may throb and ache,
But in my soul I’m glad to know,
He maketh no mistake. My cherished plans may go astray,
My hopes may fade away,
But still I’ll trust my Lord to lead,
For He doth know the way. Though night be dark and it may seem
That day will never break,
I’ll pin my faith, my all, in Him,
He maketh no mistake. There’s so much now I cannot see,
My eyesight’s far 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 way, though dark to me,
He made not one mistake. – A.M. Overton, 1932 A Private Graveside Service will take place at SAAMIS PRAIRIE VIEW CEMETERY on Friday, February 26th, 2016 with Gary W. Goran officiating.
