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 blurredHe 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.
