Divine Arms

I went to the computer confident I was going to write about the wonder of being a part of the church body and knowing someone is always there for me. Instead this is what the keyboard produced... maybe next week.

Sitting on a craggy rock
Cushioned by the needles of a tall pine
I wonder how one can not feel
The comforting arms of the great divine

I take a deep breath and then another
Knowing the air is not mine but God supplied
Wondering how I can see the gift from
The provider which others readily have denied

When the rain pelts the window panes
or the sun beams through the glass
When the blackest night encases the land
or rainbow shimmers briefly pass

I have a security…
a confidence that will not be shaken
filling me with awe that the creator of all the earth
has promised that I will never be forsaken

So I praise the God who made me
Who has showered me with his grace from above
And I pray for the lost and the blinded
Who have chosen not to accept his Love

I pray that their eyes will be opened
And one day they will be able to know
That there is a God who loves them deeper
Than any person will be able to show

For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.
Psalm 57:10-11
