My Lord, Today I Did Realize Poem by Gert Strydom

My Lord, today I did realize
that Your feet do fit in my cursed shoes
and suddenly the thought did come to me
that Your death and my baptismal wash my life clean
that whatever comes on my way
You do stand in the breach for me
and the small things in life did astound me
and although I do not always understand the way that life goes
I do constantly look at your tracks
that leads me through the dangerous places
and even when the path forward looks impossible
You do at the right time help me to avoid calamity
and Lord, now I know that You are a reality
in a broken world full of darkness
