FAITH IN FAILURE (A non-limerick Christian poem)
–
Our God is faith to His sons,
Although things may go bad…
He sends his mercies still
E’en when we feel we’ve been had!
–
He lets us fail to prove**
His love in trouble prevails…
His wisdom beckons us on
With love to fill our sails.
–
The Lord Almighty God reigns,
Over fierce wind and storm…
We carry His spirit inside
Which encourages and warms!
