Notes About The Poem

In Praise of God

In Praise of God

I look to you for love and grace,
Trusting belief in you I place.
Please keep us safe within your sight.
I feel your presence day and night.	

I try to follow golden rules.
Your precious words are my jewels.
My life I live within your light.
I feel your presence day and night.

The Ten Commandments are my guide,
To my children I did confide.
They know your truth to my delight,
I feel your presence day and night.

I’ve had my days of fears and woe
But feel protected and I know
The love you share is pure and right.
I feel your presence day and night.

It’s all about the love we share
That helps us to become aware
Of needs of others and their plight.
I feel your presence day and night.

I pray for peace, my worldly goal
That each and ev’ry sacred soul
Will feel the essence of your might,
To feel your presence day and night.

Wonderful rhymes and cadence, which are your gift. The message really spoke to me. What a gift that God's presence is always with us, day or night, comfort or pain, sick or healthy. This was a great shot in the arm for my faith today, dear friend.
