A good poem for Lent...
to help us remember again...
Silent God
By Edwina Gateley,
There Was No Path So I Trod One (1996,
2013)
This is
my prayer—
That, though I may not see,
I be aware
Of the Silent God
Who stands by me.
That, though I may not see,
I be aware
Of the Silent God
Who stands by me.
That, though I may not feel,
I be aware
Of the Mighty Love
Which doggedly follows me.
I be aware
Of the Mighty Love
Which doggedly follows me.
That, though I may not respond,
I be aware
I be aware
That God—my Silent, Mighty God,
Waits each day.
Quietly, hopefully, persistently.
Waits each day and through each night
For me.
Waits each day.
Quietly, hopefully, persistently.
Waits each day and through each night
For me.
For me—alone.
