GOD



God is love,

God is real.

You don't know what I mean.

Or do you?

I remember once, before I knew God,

I'd hear these words:

God is love,

God is real,

And wonder what they mean.

And still I wonder, but now,

I wonder at God -

How real he is,

How much he loves.



Are you afraid?

He wants to calm you -

To hold you in his arms, until,

Like the fears of a weeping child,

Your fear seeps away.



Are you alone?

He wants to be with you -

To talk to you and tell you that

No matter what the world may bring,

He'll never leave you.



Do you need a friend?

He wants to be your friend.

To lift you when you're down,

To cry when you cry,

To laugh when you laugh.



He is crying now.

Crying, because, like so many others,

You do not know him.

You do not realise that because you don't know him,

He cannot show his love to you.

He wants to meet you.

Ask me how.
