Listening to God

Listening to God

When things get tough to deal with
And nothing is going right.
How we handle our weakness
Determines outcome of night.

Is there a somewhere left to hide,
Where none can see the pain?
Is there a hidden place to go,
To find your way back again?

Is person ready to listen,
When there are words to be said?
Someone who can hold your hand
While stroking your fevered head.

Is there a choice you can make,
When choices are all too few?
An alternative outcome
That will fit none but you.

Is there one last bit of hope,
In a world filled with pain?
An option that will repair
A road back to being sane.

The heart can hear God’s words
If we allow them to come through
Just close your eyes and listen
His intervention will be true.

Finding a way through darkness
He remains forever the key
To a world of light and love
And once again serenity.
