A Voice In My Soul

I climbed up to the mountains peak,
Looked down at all the world below
I stood in awe of all God has done
As tears began to flow

A transcending peace fell upon me
I felt his presence so very near
The rushing wind was swirling all around
And his voice became so clear

He said, " I loved you from the beginning,
When you almost died at birth
And when your father beat you
And made you feel you had no worth

And even when you turned away from me
I patiently waited for your return
I loved you through the broken hearts
I felt how much they burned

I've been waiting for this moment to arrive
So you know how much your loved
I want to wash your hurts away
And prepare a home for you here above.

I only ask of you this one request
That you speak to others of this day,
And tell them of my love for them
So they too, can reside with me someday.

All for a Loving God

Carl, oh Carl, is there such a thing as a poetry groupie? Please laugh, I'm kidding, but it was a delight to discover you. I'll have to read more of you another time, my husband says I have to go eat. Blessings ... CayCay

Well praise Him for this testament of His love and power. He is always there...and longs for all to come into a saving relationship with Him. Lovely that you would share your love for Him in this piece. Bless you.
