Only those who’ve braved the night, appreciate the morning light
Only those who’ve been in chains, appreciate when freedom reigns
Only those who sickness racked, appreciate when health is back
Only those who need have known, appreciate all kindness shown
Only those who cold have felt, appreciate where once they dwelt
Only those who’ve lonely walked, appreciate a friendly talk
Only those who sorrows found, appreciate when joy rebounds
Only those who’ve known despair, appreciate when help is there
Only those once without God, appreciate His staff and rod
