Charles R. Swindoll Quote

Pain knocked upon my door and said That she had come to stay; And though I would not welcome her But bade her go away, She entered in. And like my own shade She followed after me, And from her stabbing, stinging sword, No moment was I free. And then one day another knocked Most gently at my door. I said, No, Pain is here. There’s not room for more. And then I heard His tender voice, It is I, be not afraid. And from the day He entered in— Ah, the difference He made!6
