From the Heart of God

©1992 Paul R. Rogers

Life, sometimes, can seem unfair,
And we don't understand how God,
In the midst of our troubles and woes,
Could still hold us, secure, in His hand.

But though it appears He's indifferent to us
And we're subject to His every whim;
If we trust Him, we'll find that our needs are intended
To make us dependent on Him.

You see, nothing escapes God's unlimited view;
He's aware of our grief and despair.
And He promised to walk with us all the way through;
To encourage, to strengthen, to care.

So, when pressures of life try to squeeze us to death,
And replies to our questions are few;
Disappointment, confusion, and doubt overwhelm us,
And we can't decide what to do.

That's when the world says,
"You've come to the end of your rope,
Tie a knot and hang on."
So we dangle there, helplessly, waiting for rescue
And hoping our wait won't be long.

But our heavenly Dad says, "I'm still in control,
I'll protect you and keep you from harm."
"If you trust Me," He says, "then let go of your rope and fall,
Safe, in my strong, loving arms."
