I Believe In Man

Upon a hill, he looked around,
And said, "There is no God",
He said there wasn't any proof,
And it was just a fraud.
He pointed to a world in strife,
With hunger, pain and war,
As nations fought their fellow-men,
And discontentment soared.
As many people died,
He saw corrupted government,
As other people lied.
He shook his fist and cursed the sky,
"You're not the great I AM",
And God looked down with love and said,
"Yet I believe in Man."
I made him to be just like Me,
To know the right from wrong,
And free expression he was given,
To make him proud and strong.
I've shown Myself in what I've made,
The Sun, the Stars, the Moon,
And over all this wonderous Earth,
My Presence I have strewn.
It wasn't Me who made disease,
Or hunger, pain and war,
For Satan is your nemesis,
His actions I deplore.
And man's free-will has jeopardized
The many things I planned,
Instead of building on the rock,
He built upon the sand.
Yet I am always looking out,
For those who praise My name,
For those who show their gratitude,
Instead of pointing blame.
For you can always call on Me,
And I will hear your prayer,
Just trust in Me with all your heart,
And you will know I care.

Top-level comments on this article: (3 total)David!I know you know that I am in complete awe from this article!Thanks Ronyae,When I write spiritual poems, I write from my heart. A lot of my other poems are either reflections on life or just plain fiction, but not my poems about God and His salvation and love.
This is a beautiful poem. It is short but it says so much.
Thanks for your comment Doris. I'm very seldom able to write long poems as some do. I do try to pack as much as I can into a shorter poem and hopefully it works.
