Poem
I don’t feel strong – my soul, it grieves I don’t feel wise – my spirit sighs, then weeps I don’t feel sure – my heart cries out I don’t feel resilient – my life is but a breath… Once in a while, I remember how she screamed, The storm of the century – the storm Who scattered the trees, tore through the hills, Destroyed the strong and the weak, Made her way beyond the valleys and creeks, Sought our land, our mountains, our dreams, Filled our lives with destruction and despair, Caused our hearts to cry out… God, please… Oh, please restore our lives, Restore our hearts and our faith, Restore our dreams and our feelings, Restore the reasons that we’ve always cared. God, please, oh please… Bring us through this devastation. Free our hearts from this desolation. Remind us why we can still pray for peace. Remember our spirits, though dwindling – still believing God, please, oh please… Silence the sounds of the tears, the fears Repair the hearts who hold such dread Rebuild the lives who’ve been wrecked Return our dreams, our faith, our peace God, please, oh please… Remember us when you bring your grace Remember that we love You and still praise You Remember that, despite what we’ve seen, All the shadows left to heal from that storm, so very real… Remember, God… we believe You and we agree, Your blessings still carve out hope, sweetest faith, Feelings of joy and grace, because of YOU, dear Lord… We can still say… Thank YOU, God, for another day Thank You, God, for hearing us when we pray Thank You, God, for showing us You’ll stay… Even when we’re crushed, You make a way Through everything, every doubt, every shame, You are the anchor that uplifts and calms, The answer to all our greatest worries, The One whose truth is alive in the love That never grows cold, love that lives in the soul Who knows that YOU are forever certain. You always comfort, bring hope in the worst that is, Silence the storm with Your cadenced still.
