"It's God's world and it's going to be okay."


I feel my heart-beat slipping,

I'm drowning in the storm,

my sail-boat is sinking,

my worthless sails torn.

But lo! In the darkness,

in quick and hasty flight,

I find that I am not alone,

within this hopeless night.

A father's heart and angry soul,

collide in perfect time.

A heroic God, who sees no bounds,

has linked his heart with mine.


My father holds a steadfast ship,

with many sturdy sails,

and from the ocean lifts me up,

when all I lean on fails.

A sinful child, I may be,

with nothing pure to gain,

but from His throne, descends a God,

my “daddy” once again.

Do you ever feel lost...like you're in the middle of a raging storm with no hope? I felt this way, and God soon came to my help. Psalm 18 was my inspiration for this piece.

"If at first you don't succeed, destroy any evidence."

wow this is amazing! I love the last line especially, because for some reason I felt touched as I read it, defintely a success for a poet!! :)

I also think that the ananlogy with the boats, etc. was inspired!!!
