Just Submitted Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Just Submitted,
This Earliest Dutch Morn


The grand and exuberant language
we learned from the psalms

words with which to praise
an unspeakably wonderful God

when we are distracted or worried
the Psalms remind us
what a mighty, loving God we serve

when our grief is so great we cannot pray,
the cries of the psalmists put words to our pain

the Psalms are comforting
because they refocus our attention
on our loving and faithful Shepherd,
remember we are His lambs

and the truth that He is still on the throne—nothing is more powerful

The Psalms reassure us that
no matter what we are feeling or experiencing,
God is with us, and He is good

He gives us reassurance
his endless love
his constant support
at any time of night or day

Yes! We may thank Him in our own way
now especially towards His Birthfeast

Remember that He is
The Only One arisen from the dead

Mightiest
Most powerful is that!

my testimony here is that
He lets me each time to experience His Wonders

whatever, through the psalms,
all psalms are as beautiful and trustable, as His living words

we might wander
and yet we still can find Him

He is constantly with us
we must invite Him to hear us
as we pray to Him

simple words
no need to search for expensive words

we can sing for Him
dance for Him
shed tears for Him
or whatever
as long as we have an honest heart to talk to Him

He is good
his love is honest and unending
He forgives, remember that
He always forgives

look outside to the vast sky
His Love and Forgivenness

unending,
so biggest!
