He's the hand I felt on my shoulder as the tornado went by overhead
He's the one who saved me from choking to death in my own vomit as I lay a drunkard in my bed
He's the one who sat beside me on the mountaintop as I cried over my sins
I buried my head in his forgiving arms as the devine winds filled with hymns
Who is God ?
My best friend who saved me time and time again
Who understands my limitations and knows of my failures beforehand
But his forgiveness is great and everlasting for this I know and realize
One who is always there for me to lean on when I'm tired , discouraged , or trembling to the bone
One who has shown me Heaven and promised me a reservation there
Who is God ?
He is in me , my past and my future now to be
I am nothing without my God for he sheds his mercy on me

He is the one who touched me that time on Iona, he is the one who gave the doctor to skill to save my life, he is the one that is always there for us all.
Good write.
Thank you Goldfinch60 twice in one night .
A fine write S. Echoes of lines from the Psalms in this.
I'm no David , thank you orchidee for reading .
But you have a sort of prophetic tone, or 'echo' of the Psalms. David had his ups and downs too. Not all of the 150 Palms are 'cosy, sweet, nice' etc, as you may know.
And yet God can seem to have gone home - or gone to sleep, in some churches! But it's not His fault. Just that some congregations are dwindling. They do what they can, but it's a poor state of some 21st Century churches. Not all of them thankfully!
There is no challenge , without a challenge . The deciples did not stay home waiting for the people to come to them .
This is true S. Yet a church of mainly elderly people may not be able to do that much. Not that I'm condemning them as decrepit!
If you know your GOD
His presence Day & Night
You need nobody else
To keep you on the
The road marked right !
Take time to pray ~ every day
And when you're headin' home
He'll show you the WAY
If you KNOW your GOD ~ AMEN
