Lost in the darkness
God, please be with me always—
He lights a new way

Long before I was born
God already knew about me—
He made me His own

A life shattered, lost
Feeling refreshing waters—
Transformed by God’s love

Sometimes . . .
A heart and soul experience nothing but emptiness
Searching for a life overflowing with more happiness
Family and friends stop over, sharing bushels of love
Extending God’s righteousness, working from above
Sometimes . . .
A body no longer feels as young as it once was
Declining, outdated, and ancient, just because
Changes in a lifestyle produce renewal of life
Experiencing energy again, without the strife
Sometimes . . .
The day fills with shadows of darkness, without light
Questioning why this life no longer continues to fight
Next day’s sunrise brings a sustaining change
Illuminating the way, because God is His name
Sometimes . . .
This job generates nothing, only constant distress
Feeling passed over by others who perform less
Then one day, opportunity knocks at the door
Receiving that promotion, evens up the score
Sometimes . . .
Life feels like walking the treadmill all day
Ending out of breath, with nothing to say
Faithfulness enters a heart with a new intention
Accepting God’s grace, a total transformation
When life brings us challenges, our faith is sometimes challenged. We just need to remember that our God is a righteous and faithful one filled with immense love and thanksgiving.
Here are some previously published poems that explore a variety of life’s challenges. May we always remain faithful towards our Lord.

God sends amazing grace freely to all
Offering to save sinners aren’t we all?
Jesus died on an old rugged cross for our salvation
Giving all of us a true path for avoiding temptation
There are no gifts greater than God’s grace
Flowing from His love, making no mistake
The Bible teaches all of us to follow the “Grace Path”
Justifying through faith in Christ keeps us on track
The righteous live each single moment by faith
Feeling God’s rich grace, so delicious to taste
Apostle Paul, a sinner like us, received mercy and life
Writing about God’s plan, he is freed from all strife
God fine tunes our hearts to receive his treasured gift
Redeeming love and grace keep us from running adrift
All we need is faith to live without harm
Running to God’s waiting and loving arms
Grace is a precious gift for all people to receive
Running from an enemy who continues to deceive
Abraham’s faith brings God’s great promise to light
Believing, he followed his Lord without any fright
Be content with what daily life throws at us
Raising up Christ to believers without any fuss
Christ’s sacrifice and resurrection burn bright
Allowing our faith to grow and never lose sight
Grace is given freely through Christ, from our Father
Replacing our works with daily faith without any bother
God opposes the proud, bringing His grace to the humble
Restoring, supporting, and strengthening when we stumble
Lord, relieve our uncertainties and lead us homeward
Abounding and steadfast love will carry us forward
God transforms sinners through His gift of grace
Following Christ will bring our lives to a proper place
All look to the Lord, His awesome wonder astounds
Sending grace by faith through Christ will abound
God sends amazing grace freely to all
Offering to save sinners aren’t we all?
It is amazing and insightful to find so many references of God’s grace in scripture as well as hymns. These resources helped with the writing of this poem. May all of you accept God’s free gift of grace.
