Love Everpresent

Forever does Your love endure,
and showers mercy every day,
I, lonely and abandoned may appear,
empty of higher purpose or design.
Thus, unmet needs, desires unfulfilled
and longings melt in fog, then disappear.

While all this mortal picture
emerges with a stinging bite,
ready to overturn the wheels of life,
You let me hear a whisper
or stir my depths with trumpet blowing,
that, present and protecting,
You stand by me.
And I am humbled and amazed
and once more filled with wonder
at the witness of Your mighty hand.
