A Talk With God Poem by Ray Hansell

I put my hands together
As I kneel to say a prayer
I will speak from my heart
I just hope He’ll be there

I know it’s been a while
Since You and I last spoke
I hope You won’t turn your back
Because you see, this is no joke

The world right now is in trouble
Things are looking bad
Millions of people who use to smile
Now walk around all day sad

They are seeking comfort
From life’s terrible storm
They have been hit so very hard
But their faith has not been torn

Some people don’t believe anymore
Some feel all hope is gone
But others still try
To continue to carry on

I don’t know what to tell them
I need Your helping hand
I know You are the only one
Who knows the entire plan

You know what purpose we each have
You know where we’re all going
I was hoping there’s a chance
That soon You could be showing

Just how good or bad
The future is going to be
I was hoping You’d take a chance
To share it all with me

If you do me this one favor
I can spread the word far and near
I’d like to be able to tell everyone
There’s no reason to live in fear

If You can’t grant my request
Or You just don’t want to
No matter which way You chose to go
I’ll always continuing serving you
