From Isaiah 40:10-11:  “See, the Lord God comes with might, and His arm rules for Him; His reward is with Him and His recompense before Him.  He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs in His arms and carry them in His bosom and gently lead the mother sheep.”

Staying close

Mercy knows

Chasing away doubts

God’s hand reaches out

Quiet rest

Hope be blest

Faith’s embers restart

Nestled in God’s heart

Always near

Never fear

Righteous grace arrives

Resurrection thrives

Peaceful place

Light’s embrace

Holy Spirit roams

Redemption comes home

The hymn “Near to the Heart of God” inspired today’s faith-based poem.  Here is a dynamic video of the hymn with lyrics by Fountainview Academy in British Columbia, Canada.
