A POWERFUL GOD

If we become CAPTAIN of our soul,
And feel we have complete control
Of all that happens in our days,
Do we need God to whom Christ prays?

“If it be possible, let this cup pass;”
Would God ignore his Only Son?
May man see through theology glass
That shows us God, when said and done?

For me, God dwells in human hearts;
His tabernacle He builds right there;
Omnipresence, more than arts,
Reveals a God we all can share.

We speak of Heaven as his home;
Do we not pray for “heaven on earth”?
If His great Spirit makes hearts His Home,
Is this not then our second birth?

It is His Spirit that shows His face,
Not for human eyes to see,
But by that Spirit he gives us grace
To be more like we long to be.

Yes, we drink cups we wish would pass,
As well as cups filled with joy;
We all see “darkly, as through a glass“,
Struggling to be more like His Boy.

Is not this then, “GOD WITH US”,
The Spirit no one can deny?
How great that God so trusts us
That in his Son He willed to die.

Let us look deep within our hearts
To find the trust and love therein;
That sight will help us do our parts
In all the good GOD DOES SHARE IN.
