He Speaks

He speaks through tongues, some would say
He spreads His word through many vessels
We are His people, His chosen lot
Into His bosom, we are to nestle

The embrace He gives when we are close
Is of love, encouragement, joy and hope
He provides for all, daily sustenance
Therefore, through it all, we can cope.

Each day and night, I see the proof
He discloses in many, many ways
By a neighbor waving hello one morn
Or even a stranger smiling each day.

The man on the corner who stopped to say hi
The child that offered to go to the store
They are all examples of His speaking to us
He speaks through us all, for sure.
