The Words of Man

The Words of Man

The words of man 

Oft drag his fellowman downward,

Forcing him into 

The whirlwinds of time,

The tornado of life,

The eye of the hurricane, 

Where he finds pseudo peace.

Here, he thinks he can rest

Only to find that he is tossed back out;

Man tumbles to the ground.

The earth quakes;

Man shakes in fear

Knowing his demise is near.

He calls out to God.

Suddenly, from within the depths of his being,

He hears the words,

"Do not fear."

He finds inner peace

Beyond the tests, trials and torments of time,

Beyond whirlwinds, 

Tornadoes and hurricanes.

He knows that he is 

Beyond the will and wiles of fellow man

And becomes one who conveys

The word of God's love to others.

"Do not fear."

The words of man are imperfect;

The words of God are perfect.

He knows God's love is sufficient

And that His word of love is true.

The word of God is eternal,

As is His love for man.
