Author Donates Poem to People Affected by Hurricane Katrina
My name is Stanice Anderson and I am the author of I Say A Prayer for Me: One Woman's Life of Faith and Triumph published by Walk Worthy Press/Warner Books.
While I have given money and offered up prayer, I feel a deep desire to give something that is truly unique to me. Something from my soul and heart to the souls and hearts of women, children, and men who are suffering physically, emotional, and spiritually in this time of crisis in our great nation. When I look at the photos, video clips, and listen to the stories, I see and hear the right-now heart-cry of my poem, Tell Me.
Thus, I donate my poem, Tell Me. Please copy, with my complete permission and distribute in donation bags, toiletry kits, tables in shelters, etc. It's about listening to their stories and sharing our true stories of faith with them.
Tell Me
Tell Me
A Story that I have not heard
Lead me to prayer
Give me an encouraging Word
Tell Me
A Story that will teach me how to see
That God loves and cherishes even me
Tell Me
A Story of God’s Goodness and Power
So I won’t give up in this next hour
Tell Me
A Story of what He’s done for you
Then maybe I’ll believe that
He can do the same for me too
Sometimes I get weary
I get weak, I feel worn
Tell Me
A Story so I’ll know it is not by mistake
That I was born
Tell Me
A Story of how God leads the way
Tell Me
A Story so that I can get through one more day
Tell Me
A Story so I won’t feel alone
Tell Me
A Story of how faith is grown
Does God really work in mysterious ways?
Does God care how I spend the hours of my days?
Does He love me? Does He Care?
Will He always be there?
Tell Me
A Story because sometimes life just ain’t fair
Sometimes I feel like I’m living in a lion’s lair
Tell Me
A Story and please make it true
I need to know God loves me
As much as He loves you.
Please Tell Me.
