Remembering His Gifts

In times of crisis
when Christ feels far away
focus on our history
remembering his gifts
God’s answer to prayer

The bits of grace heaped on us
when we felt close to him
little piece of meaning
meeting our daily needs

Filling some niche
something that we needed
God close by us
all of our days

Even when we wander
struggle to sense him
God with us always
just as he promised
