Where I'm at Right Now
When God doesn't do what I think He should, And I'm left feeling mis-understood, As well as hopeless, failed, and depressed, And tired from every trial, and test,
I cry out to Jesus, "Oh Lord, how long?" Before I'm delivered from all of this wrong, Before I'm drowned in the self-pity I feel, "How long 'til You Come, to comfort and heal"
But deep in my heart, I imagine His Voice, Saying "trust me or not, it's really your choice" "When you trust, I will lead you on paths of My Peace," "So let every thought of dis-couragment cease!"
And despite all the problems that I've often feared, In light of real faith in my Savior, I'm cheered! And though Christ may not do what I think He should, He will, at the end, work all this for good! |

About the Poet
I am 64, a born-again Christian, and didn't write until 1974. My mother inspired me to write poetry, from an early age since she developed a deep love for poetry in my life. However it took years before I tried to write. My favorite subject to write about is my Savior, Jesus Christ, and religious subjects. I reside in Cleveland, Ohio.
