Notes About The Poem

The call of God, this makes a true servant of the LORD that is, if
you answer the call.  Nothing is more precious to me than the LORD
assigning me something to do for HIM.

 

The Call of God

The Call of God

One cannot truly understand why God
selects a person with whom His secrets He choose to confide,
and He living closer it seems to them
His presence in their life is found there to abide.

Does He select such a one by their beauty
their grace or by their overwhelming charm,
or does He have a deeper sense of this one’s character
by more than the flesh of their arm.

Has He ventured deeper into the recesses
and corridors of their heart,
does He know what makes them tick or laugh
or cry, for after all, these all play an important part.

Has He seen the future and whether or not
this child will yield to Him their all,
or would they hold a portion of their life back
and between them and Father God choose instead to build up a wall.

Has He seen their secret sins and deep struggles
of their heart that makes them want to die,
for they truly desire to be holy for Him
and can’t understand all the reason why.

Certainly, I believe He sees the heart’s cry
and answers many times before we whisper or ask,
forgiveness, cleansing, strength and for hope
I know this is the Lord of my life, and His love for me will always last.
