Can We Cope

A drop of rain upon my face
A tear from God's own eye?
He questions things about His world
The things that make Him cry

What happened to "In God We Trust"?
Where is our sense of grace?
What will He have to say to us
When we come face to face?

He doesn't ask for much from us
Just live as His word says
A tiny thing to do for Him
To lift Him up in praise

Yes! Jesus is the Son of God
Our only ray of hope
Without Him in our daily lives
I wonder, Can We Cope?

Let's tell the world about His love
From sea to shiny sea
Tis all He really asks from us
A simple Godly plea

Are we too busy to take on 
This simple easy task?
Can we make time to praise our Lord?
Or let this moment pass?

I pray with all my heart and soul
That we will praise His name!
In glowing loving terms to all
That willingly exclaim

Yes! Jesus is the Son of God 
Our only ray of hope
Without Him in our daily lives
I wonder, Can We Cope?

Can we cope without His lasting love?
Can we really, really cope?
And if we shun His glorious name
Is there truly any hope?

Should we stand up to praise His name
Or go to bended knee?
And bow our heads in reverent awe
For all the world to see

I say, Stand up, let's take our stand
And praise our Savior's name
And shout Hosanna's to the world
Being grateful that He came!

Yes! Jesus is the Son of God
Our only ray of hope
Without Him in our daily lives
I wonder, Can We Cope?

Dearest George, what a beauty this is. Created with such love, insight and imagery. It is good to see that you are still producing wonderful pieces for us to enjoy. Though I have been absent from PS for a few years, it is good to be back and, most especially, to find this most lovely poem of inspiration from you. Be Blessed, Neva
