August 25th poem: There Is a God

Aug 26, 2024

There Is a God

There is a God who watches o'r

and stands with me near the shore

of "leaving or staying" on this plane

and keeps me from going completely insane.

There is a God, even though I'm not sure

that he will save me or even cure

the heavy illness which sets on me,

that only he and I can see.

I know God's love. I know His grace.

And I could name the date and place

where he appeared and touched my heart;

and where he promised we'd not part.

I know God's grace will get me home

though some days I've gone far and roamed

through dark and deepest, dense ravine

and wished memory loss of all I've seen.

There is a God and with his grace

I'll finally meet him, face-to-face.

When I get to heaven, I'll know for sure

that faith has helped me to endure.
