Where Have You Been

And

Where Are You Going

By Alberta Anne Thomas – June 9, 2002

___________

We are all in God’s hands

We are all in God’s plans.

The problem, mostly unseen,

Comes from inside the hearts of man.

We watch, in wonder and delight,

The dark starry night.

We see, with hearts full of love,

Our children’s first sight of light.

As we go about our daily labor,

We fight with our neighbor,

We cuss at family or a friend,

Which can cause a relationship to end.

We ignore, scream or yell at our child,

So impressionable, so very small and mild,

Then wonder what causes them to go wild.

We surely don’t want to listen,

We definitely don’t want to hear,

Just what we are and will be missing

If to God we don’t draw near.

What we cannot, do not see,

Is God’s all compassing love,

Given freely to both you and me,

From our Lord God above.

If to Jesus you give your heart and soul,

You win you sins remission,

This would become your daily mission,

To show others where you have been,

And don’t want to go again.

Giving our hearts and becoming a Christian,

Does not give the end of strife,

But God’s love is a life raft for the living of life,

Now and in the heavenly life to come.
