On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

Dear Lord,

Pove that Your power is as great as You claim
In our world is so much chaos, so much heartache, so much pain
With a touch of Your hand You can move what seems insurmountable
Mountains of prejudice, walls of intolerance, of bitterness are breakable

Your power still reigns in the whispers of the wind, in the crashing of the sea
In the miracle of life, in every star that light the night
In the ordering of planets, in the control of every season
Somehow it seems lost in humanity, in hardened heart, irrational reasoning

Show us Your power, Your glory, Your grace
In this world, in our lives, in every heart that beat life
Dear Lord, prove that Your power is as great as You claim
Though You won’t impose, gently nudge us to change

In the hearts of the weak, let Your mercy permeate
In the decisions of the powerful, let Your grace dictate
In the lost and the broken, let Your love restore
In a world hellbent on self-imploding
Dear Lord, let Your guiding-light implore

Amen.
