Remembering His Gifts – v5

In times of crisis, trials,

when Christ feels far away

we must focus on our history;

We must remember God’s gifts

God’s answers to our prayers.

Bits of grace heaped on us

by God, living waters,

when we felt close to God;

Little piece of meaning, the truth,

that God meets our daily needs.

Filling some niche, some space,

something that we needed

though we may not know it at the time;

God is close by us, always,

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 God promised
