Notes About The Poem

Our God is the Mighty God and Creator of Heaven
and Earth.  If He can create a universe so perfect
and keep it in His control, He can certainly take
care of us.

The Obedience of the Seas

The Obedience Of The Seas

The mighty ocean tosses and roars
and its waves break over the land
but even the ocean His voice obeys
and does not transgress His command.

For He directed this body of water
to stay within the borders of its land
it is a good lesson for us also to observe and to abide
by the Almighty’s brilliant and great plan.

You think to yourself how can this much water not
flood all over our land?
We must know that it is kept by an all seeing eye and the
mighty power of His right hand.

The answer then to us is so simple
we being as small as a mere grain of sand
if He can keep an ocean within its border
then He can keep us in the palm of His hand.
