Call On God

Our God can always reach you there, though you  have fallen low.
He’s near you on the mountain top and in that  vale below.

Just call His name, He’ll hear you, though you speak it not aloud.
He’ll find you if you’re by yourself or  in a milling crowd.

The One  who marks the sparrows fall, will not lose sight of you. 
He  has promised that He’ll love you, no matter what you do.

Don’t say that sin has bound you,  for God’s love can break those chains.
Though all the world deserts you, be assured His love remains.

God made you pure and holy when He put you here on earth.
The devil has a hold on you, but God knows what you’re worth..

Old Satan can’t defy him, when our  God tells him to scat.
You can’t beat evil by yourself, just call on God for that.

Couldn't agree more with the message, Joyce. If we hand our problems to God, we know we are making the right move. As always, excellent use of rhyme and perfect structure. Your work always stands out, dear. Love you, Carolyn
