Father the hate is as real as the denial
Forgive them, for they know not what they do
They hate me because they don't believe in you
But you have sheltered me through every storm
Forgeiven my unforgivable sin
Scooped me up in my lowest moments
Lit my way in the darkest nights
You helped me fly like angels in my successes
You love me tenderly,
teach me the hardest lessons
And straighten my path through the highlights of life
You've blessed me and kept me
Nourished and fed me
All that I am is what I am grateful for
Because I chose you of my own free will
You are my shield, my armour of truth
Indescrible joy,
Unwavering purpose
You are the source of my soul
The heart of my conviction
And the compassion of my thought
And I can weather any storm and yet still love
Those that of You and I would hate
And pray the scales come off their eyes
So that they may see the truth through our eyes
And maybe hate a little less and love a whole lot more, may they see you in all the glory of everything
And realise there's is no price but a simple hope and faith in you.
Amen.
Amen.
I have been reading poetry
I have been reading poetry since Spring, 1973 . . . and this is one of the finest testimonies of Faith that I have ever encountered, on this site, or elsewhere. This sharing of personal Faith that finds bessings even in curses is what the best Poetry does. I thank you for posting this excellent poem. It will have a long career of affecting others who read it, and affecting them in the most spiritual way.
