But I will trust in God
A little "poem" that I wrote during my quiet time entitled:
But I will trust in GodLord, tonight was the worst
I even prayed the day before
That You would give me strength
To endure what I believe I cannot
When my emotions struck me
They cast a net of anguish upon my heart
Anger and bitterness took me
And I made silent promises, filled with folly and sin
But while the devil tormented me,
I remembered You, Lord
In my pain and weaknesses
I called for Your strength, in the silence of my heart
I didn't feel all lovey dovey
Nor did I feel very spiritual
Your help was not instant
Yet further I believed and endured
Lord, You are good, Your promises true
For I felt strength rise in my heart
My anger brushed away by peace
And my heart sighed rejoicing
You, Lord break my chains of hatred
Taught me how to love when I could not
You drew me out of the raging fire
Set in me in a rocking chair of light
Yes, You, Lord is He whom I dearly love
For in my stress You comfort me greatly
Saying, "Rest in My love"
And "Cast all of your cares upon Me".
Lord, You are He who opens doors
And who can close them?
In every trial I have passed,
I saw Your goodness and gave thanks
I would brave the fires at Your word
And become a strong son for Your sake
Then to live a happy, heck-care life
And become a weak morsel of disgrace
O Lord, hear me as I pray
Help O God with Your wisdom
Guide me in all my ways
Holy Spirit, light my paths
Though the waters may fall heavy
And the hand of fear is great
Yet King David loved to say,
"But I will trust in God".
You will not fail me
Nor will You forsake me
You have given me strength
To last the rest of my days
Though I worry of the coming months
May Your mercy fall upon me
Bring to remembrance Your love for me
Teach me to enter the gates of Your rest
May I, Lord, live out my days smiling
Praising and thanking You always
Though I fear the coming months
But I will trust in God =)
-Clarence to his God
