divine Providence

Back story:
Last year I went to my first summer camp, and I left home with only two or three friends, but when it was over, I had even more friends than I ever thought I would have. God brought me to these wonderful girls and I honestly don't know where I'd be without them. The past few months have been easier with people to rely on and it was God's Providence that inspired this poem.

the world around us

believes in fate

and destiny controlled by

the universe that

randomly decided to 

put them in just the right place,

at just the right time.

But as for me,

  I believe in my God the God,

the God who holds that universe

in. His. hands.

the same God that breathed

life into all creation and

taught the stars how to shine

and whispered to the winds

to run free and wild and

commanded the waves to dance

and orchestrates the choir

of birds that sing praises to their

Provider and have faith that when

they jump, they'll fly because

their Creator gave them wings

to spread. and flap. and fly.

This same God placed the sun

in its place and hung the 

earth just right and secured the

moon over there and then went

on to wrap rings around Saturn

but remembered to give us

air to breathe and voices to sing,

and He is the one who taught

the whales to sing their songs

in the oceans deep

and told the bears that until spring,

they sleep.

And I should not be worthy

of the love of this awesome God

reigning in heaven above

but He is wise, He is powerful,

He is love.

And my heart is abandoned as I 

stand in awe with arms high

to You, my God I surrender my soul,

in awe I praise the Creator God

of the

           universe

who gate it all

though my sins were great,

my shoulders weighed with

            countless burdens

my God sent His Son

    and Jesus Christ

 paid the price

and ransomed me for God

I am loved

                          by the Creator God

I am a daughter

                of the King

I am an alien

                                       belonging to some place greater

And I deserve none of it

but praise God

who breathes life into this world

that He is gracious,

merciful

thank You Father for being

a God of love.
