Power Of God Poem by Achim Wollscheid

Last night I hung my head
I struggled through the day
I couldn't find happiness
I prayed to God, and He spoke to me
But I don't know that I was listening
I asked for everything, I spoke of every desire
For hours on end, I talked to Him
I was sure that what I asked for, He would give
But curse my selfish heart, so weary of direction
I followed the notion that I deserved happiness
When all I deserved is the eternal abyss
But as I woke the next day
I felt a weight lifted, I felt like cotton
Through the day, I was happy
I could laugh unlike I'd done for days
God is good to me, so I give Him praise
He put the smile on my face
Regardless of my sinful nature, He delivers me
When I'm selfish, He's still here providing for me
And I know I don't deserve a single thing
But He gives and He gives and He gives
And He takes away
He's given me reason to rejoice, so I do pray
In His name, life is fulfilled
The sun does not wake me, it is the power of the Lord
I walk with my head held high
I push and persevere through the day
My happiness is found in God
