The Hand of God In the 1980's
God rules supremely in His perfect sovereignty
Over world events and throughout eternity
With His omnipotence, wisdom and majesty
Including the 1980’s full entirety.
In the great decade’s varied defining moments
God prevailed in economic developments
Midst fantastic music, sports and entertainments
Along political and global engagements.
For sure, God knew all about the “Rubik’s Cube” rage
Of “Compact Discs” commercial launching’s advantage
And the first-ever “Post It” notes for every age
Also “Pac-Man” fun versus addictive rampage.
Though busy with international history
God’s hand reached down very timely to my country*
For momentous peaceful “coup d`etat story”
Called “People-power revolution” victory.
God’s grace to me in the 80’s are wonderful
Blessing me with three graduations truly blissful**
Most of all, He offered His love so bountiful
Which I received my Saviour Jesus by faith***, making life meaningful!

*February 25, 1986 – peaceful People Power Revolution in the Philippines.
**My elementary graduation was in 1981, secondary was in 1985, tertiary was in 1989.
***Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.
