I Know A Man Who Can

God sent His angels time after time
To help me cross mountains I couldn’t climb
This mountain was different; immense in size
So I prayed to God with tears in my eyes:
“Lord God, I need You; please send some help.”
He didn’t send angels: He showed up Himself!!
On the mountain, were many demons around
Trying to attack me, to knock me back down
Uncertainty and Misery with Anguish and Fear
Self Pity brought Doubt and Terror so near.
Insecurity and Gloom with Dread and Despair
We went right through ‘em like they weren’t there.
Looking back from the top of the steep incline
Only one set of footprints, they were not mine!
He stood me down on my trembling feet,
Took my right hand, and said, “Walk with Me.”
My body was weak from the battle within
But He’s been my strength time and again.
Comfort, Healing, Recovery and Peace
With God’s Calmness I moved my feet.
My feeble steps, were steady and slow
I will find Serenity in the valley below.
God on the mountain is still the same
As God in the valley; just call His name.
In the valley I’ll tell of God’s saving grace
How He brought me from a very dark place.
He is always my anchor who calms the storm
And gives me rest when I’m weak and worn.
Life will bring mountains time and again
If I can’t cross it, I know a Man who can.

Kossettes Novellettes Being saved
First off i adore the rhythmn of this piece it flows so beautifully that I cant get enough. Secondly i love reading uplifting work such as this. I run across so much bleak dreary and dark work (mine sadly) that work such as this just strikes me so strongly.
