In the darkness that hovers <br />He seems like an unkind friend <br />But He knows all about me <br />And is acquainted with my life <br />My thoughts, my joys, my hurts <br />And He bids me to this dark cloud <br />These ongoing painful experiences <br />These moments of introspection <br />This severing of my self-reliance <br />That keeps me utterly helpless <br />And puts me on my knees in tears <br />Waiting, gasping for a sigh of relief <br />Nothing within for me to hold-on <br />But the longing to find Him close <br />To fill this void within that growls <br />This craving that haunts me thus <br />Daily, deeply, and each moment <br />Eating into the reins of my being <br /> <br />Why hasn’t He picked me up? <br />Why hasn’t He rescued me? <br />He has my very best at heart! <br />He knows every detail of me! <br />Every circumstance is filtered <br />Through His sovereign eyes <br />And He has veto rights over all <br />Yet His rescue is not in sight <br />And while the pain is wrenching <br />And the emptiness growling <br />He keeps me in His plans still <br />And never out of His hands <br />And all the while knitting me <br />Though with tears and toil <br />Into the quilt of completeness <br />Meet for His ultimate use<br /><br />Oyekake Satty Joshua<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/always-in-his-hands/
