I have searched to discover the wisdom of earth, <br />It's a long tiring journey from the moment of birth, <br />Till the day I shall leave here and then fly away, <br />Through the clouds unto heaven my spirit shall stay. <br />For there I'll find peace and in joy I will live, <br />And all that I long for I know he shall give, <br />As my future is written in stone on the lands, <br />And my life always rests in God's hands. <br /> <br />I know he'll be with me each step that I take, <br />And will act as my guide with the choices I make, <br />He'll always bring comfort when I'm in despair, <br />And I know he will listen and answer each prayer. <br />Without him I'm nothing nowhere I belong, <br />My body is weak yet he makes me so strong, <br />I shall bow before him like waves on the sands, <br />For my life always rests in God's hands. <br /> <br />The rock that I cling to that never shall fall, <br />In times when I'm lonely his love conquers all, <br />He will never desert me my saviour and friend, <br />On him I now know I will always depend. <br />Like the sun in the sky and the land and the sea, <br />The hills and the mountains forever shall be, <br />In all of creation his epitaph stands, <br />And my life always rests in God's hands.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rests-in-god-s-hands/
