Everlasting

Depending on Him with each sunrise…

till even time when I close my eyes.

Keenly aware of the unseen hand of provision…

the still small voice that tells me

just where I left my keys.

To know physical weakness

that is a type of passport…

Learning greater trust and dependence

for each heartbeat in uncertain times.

Have now come to the place

where He alone is my very life…

Sensing tranquil peace of

spirit, soul and mind.

In the crucible of suffering simply

Stand refuse to run.

Watch the greater good unfold

by his sovereign will alone.

When letting go and letting God

is the order of each day,

simply trust, as He brings direction and

new hope… in his perfect timing.. his way.

Look deeper child, beyond this world of woe…

No… not simply with your eyes alone,

but with your heart and soul.

There you will sense an unseen world,

a realm of greater blessing still.

Simply peer through and see the eternal

loving care of Father God…

since underneath are truly

His everlasting arms.
