Mercy is my heart’s cry today,
This morning your gift is its sweet words,
I allow only these words to fill me,
My dear enemy spews constant hate,
His cold eyes that have dark souls,
Drawing me into their emptiness,
Wanting to see me cling to false hope,
I feel the pain of disappointment,
The desert of loneliness,
When what was important,
Was too easily discarded for a trinket.
I have searched with God for answers,
I turned my face to his,
Looking into his loving eyes,
Discovering more and more of his love,
Life is lived in an oasis of calm,
Trusting God for my daily needs,
My path protected by his strong hand,
Nothing can change my choices now,
His will is etched in my memory,
Reminding me of what comes first.
My dear enemy’s words are drying up,
His accusations easily cast aside,
They belong to him,
Even though he wants me to quiver,
Fear is not my first response,
Soon he will know the great silence,
When God’s voice will ring in his ears,
His words will be his retribution,
God’s will is setting all things right.
I remain a humble listening ear,
Trusting in God’s words to me,
With me in each step forward,
Surrounded by unfailing love.
