    This week’s is very  . . . fresh, I’ll call it. I just wrote it the other day and I haven’t done much editing. Just thought I’d share it with you guys. Riddle it with criticism!!

    Does He? (He Does!)

    Well, here I am doubting once more.
    Questions crowd around in hoards
    Do I really make a difference or
    Am I really the Lord’s?

    Am I not too small to be seen?
    Why would an Almighty Father look at me?
    He says I am His child, freed and clean.
    He says that this is what I’ll always be.

    But is it true? Oh, is this real?
    Why can’t I get beyond the the things I feel?
    Does He care? Does He see
    When I live not for me?

    Does He
    Take delight when I cry to Him in my despair?
    When I kneel and bow my head in prayer?
    Does He
    Take delight in my hymns of praise unto Him?
    When I persevere when prospects are grim?

    Does He know? Does He smile
    When I go the second mile?
    Does He take, does He delight
    When this wayward child does what’s right?

    You say in this Book that You delight
    In a pure and holy life, lived out for Christ.
    When Your children do that which is right,
    They find favor in their Father’s eyes.

     

    He says He loves me, this I know
    It’s written in the Bible, so it’s so.
    I know He cares! He sees
    When I live not for ease.

    He Does
    Take delight when I cry to Him in my despair.
    When I kneel and bow my head in prayer.
    He Does
    Take delight in my hymns of praise unto Him.
    When I persevere when prospects are grim.

    He knows, maybe even smiles
    When I go the second miles
    He takes, oh, He takes delight
    When His adopted one does what’s right.

     

    He does
    Take delight when I honor His name
    When I give Him His due fame
    He does
    Take delight when I read His Word
    Use it to find a path in a planet blurred

    He knows, maybe even smiles
    When I go the second miles
    He takes, oh, He takes delight
    When His adopted one does what’s right.

    So why should I stand in here in doubt?
    I must go and live like I’m His
    Go outside of myself and live it out
    I know He is Mine and I am His.
