My Lord, Sometimes It Feels Poem by Gert Strydom

My Lord, sometimes it feels
as if I am going through the most difficult times of my life,
as if alone I stand in a place of destruction
and as if I am constantly drawing fire from my enemies
but small things tell me that Your hand does cover me
and every day my life does continue
on a unknown undiscovered track
and constantly I have got to leave a place of safety
but when I do look up I see Your shadow falling over me
and at the very brink I do find an answer
and it’s as if situations do come right
when I do expect distending fire to start
and in the valley of death You do still lead me on
and constantly I am astounded by Your salvation.
