I know you're hurting right now
the darkness wants to bury you in
and God's light seems so far away
but He never is, He never will.
As I walked into the church
I felt a firm belonging to
something far beyond this
world that keeps on turning
to shift down my faith in Him
so I won't live upon His grace.
I know you're working right now
the duty wants to hold you in
and God's wisdom is so grave
but it never is, it never will.
Christ's example of steadfast faith
helped me to hold on to my own
it never made sense before Him
His word was what I was lacking
to become anew upon His grace.
I know you're dying right now
the pain wants to crush you in
and God's love seems so distant
but He never is, He never will.
The building wasn't my home
my home was in His arms
where love never runs out
afar from the voices I hear
I knew I'd feel safe there
since I won't leave His grace.
I know you're dating right now,
the desire wants to keep you in
and God's calling is so heavy
but it never is, it never will.
Christ's mercy is everlasting
it overwhelmed me at times
to know that I'm precious to Him
down to the last shell that is in me
to become joyful upon His grace.

A/N: Whenever I come up with a poem about my faith or God in general, I feel so powerful in a sense that knowing where I belong and how He's shaping me through His word and Gospel is giving me so much joy and hope for the future, whatever happens, and how much pain I have a handle. It's the way life is and there is nothing to do to change it. At his point, I couldn't imagine a better way to use my talent that writing about it, so let's give each other some grace and create a better tomorrow.
With love,
