Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Showing God

“The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch
on the evil and the good.”  Proverbs 10:3

For those who don’t know or who adamantly
believe God doesn’t exist,
I must say to you most undoubtedly
God’s eyes upon you are fixed.

It’s we who must fix our eyes on the Lord.
For some this is hard, I know,
I hope I can strike within you a chord
as God I will try to show.

God is in nature; He is all around -
on land, in sky and the sea.
He made every creature that can be found,.
but His best were you and me.

For what are we if we have not a soul?
God’s logic to me is clear.
Heart without soul, and man is not whole,
and all souls to God are dear.

God is in good works that good people do
and in good thoughts we think of.
God is in me and God is in you;
especially God is love.

Though God we can’t see, he hears heart-felt prayer.
You may suffer to the grave,
but earth-time is short and the Lord is fair
since all souls God died to save.
