The Power of God

Though in the natural it may seem odd
Fear not
For the power of God
Shields you when the going gets hot

Renewing hope
When hope seems gone
Lifting your flagging faith from the slope
Where you stray in the despondency zone

From which lost
You grope in thick darkness
As though a despondency ghost
Devours the harness

In which your reserves of hope lie
To buttress your blurred vision
When for no reason you ply
The trade of confusion and delusion

Born by nonsense
You can do without
As you recall in your defence
God’s clout

Stands ready
Yesterday, today and tomorrow
Preventing the greedy
From snatching the glow in a row

Where your succor and safety
Lie in wait
Despite the fragile frailty
You increase at your life’s gate.
