Blessed By Serenity! Poem by Denis Martindale

A songwriter got up one morning and even before dressing for the day was sitting down and writing a brand new song that had come in a dream.

The words appeared upon the page like a stream from that dream…

‘Wow! ' declared the songwriter! ‘To think that God gave that new song to me! To ME! '

Then the songwriter began to sing a favourite hymn learnt many years ago, ‘How Great Thou Art! ' And having sung that song from start to finish, the songwriter paused to pray…

‘What will You do with my new song, Lord? '

Then the Lord spoke to make things clear…

‘It wasn't your song… It wasn't My song… It's OUR song! '

The songwriter smiled. Then these words were spoken in a delicate whisper…

‘Tell My people… God offers serenity to the world, if you are blessed by serenity, you are truly blessed indeed.'
