POET'S CORNER #18

THOUGH  THE  TIMES  BE  DESPERATE  AND  HARSH  THERE  IS  A  TIME  TO  COME  WHEN IT  SHALL  ALL  END,  AND  THE  KNOWLEDGE  OF  THE  LORD  SHALL  COVER  THE  EARTH  AS  THE  WATERS  COVER  THE  SEA  BED;  WHEN  IT  IS  PROMISED,  NATION  SHALL  NOT  LIFT  UP  SWORD  AGAINST  NATION,  AND  THEY  SHALL  LEARN  WAR  NO  MORE,  THEY  SHALL  NOT  HURT  NOR  DESTROY  IN  ALL  MY  HOLY  MOUNTAIN,  SAITH  THE  LORD.


WHAT  MORE  

Can You Ask?


God's love endures forever—

what a wonderful thing to know

When the tides of life run against you

and your spirit is downcast and low.


God's kindness is ever around you

always ready to freely impart

Strength to your faltering spirit,

cheer to your lonely heart.


God's presence is ever beside you,

as near as the reach of your hand.

You have but to tell Him your troubles —

there is nothing He won't understand. 


And knowing God's love is unfailing,

and His mercy unending and great,

You have but to trust in His promise,

"God comes not too soon or too late."


So wait with a heart that is patient

for the goodness of God to prevail,

For never do prayers go unanswered,

and His mercy and love never fail.


Hellen  Steiner  Rice
