Sad is the word to best describe, this feeling I have echoing inside, <br />Even though Christ lives there, and I know that He really does care. <br />It is something that on the outside, that today I simply can not hide. <br />There is an absence of joy within, when I take my mind off of Him. <br /> <br />It is then that the peace in my heart, from within begins to depart. <br />It’s the same peace, that one day, will in my heart eternally stay. <br />But in this world filled with grief, I can lose my focus and peace. <br />But with The Lord deep inside, His presence will not always hide. <br /> <br />So when my world becomes bleak, it’s Christ’s face I must seek, <br />And in time Christ will restore, that awesome peace of The Lord. <br />Circumstances can play a part, in the role of peace in my heart. <br />But friend, this just will not be, if I focus on Christ and Eternity. <br /> <br />For this is not my ultimate home, this darkened earth that I roam, <br />I need to be fixed on Christ above, for His presence and His love. <br />My friend, I don’t know why it is, that my heart does get like this. <br />But I know that in times like this, Christ is my God and I am His. <br /> <br />Whatever mind I may be in, He’s the same as He’s always been. <br />And if I have a troubled heart, Christ as my friend, will not depart. <br />Christ will stay right by my side, and it is in Him that I will abide, <br />As God, Christ is not denied, and He will restore my peace inside. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©02/2005)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-echoing-sadness/
