Remembering His Gifts – v3

In times of crisis, trials,
when Christ feels far away
we must focus on our history;
we must remember God’s gifts
God’s answer to our prayers

The bits of grace heaped on us
by God, living waters,
when we felt close to God;
little piece of meaning
God meets our daily needs

Filling some niche
something that we needed
though we may not know it at the time;
God is close by us
all of our days

Even when we wander
when we are in the desert
when we struggle to sense God;
God is with us always
just as He promised
