Notes About The Poem

Written on July 27, 2023

Just Because

I don’t understand it all…
Despite reading His word, sometimes I fall
I don’t always know the way
Even though He knows me best, I can’t always pray
I don’t remember to listen to His word
Although I hear – Do I know what I heard?

I don’t understand everything saintly
Though I want to know, I only hearken, faintly
I don’t quite know how to give my heart
Even though He sees me, every piece – each part
I don’t see how He can love me as He does
He loves me so – I understand it’s a love, “just because”!

I don’t understand it all…
Despite my love for Him, I’m no apostle Paul
I don’t always believe without a doubt
Sometimes the living waters seem to go through drought
I don’t know what to think about this man
But I know He was always here, even before the world began

Thanks to Jesus, the One who knows me best
I know a love that assures my soul that I am blessed!
