What God can do!

One would think
the impossible to be
of all the things in front of me
and yet when brought
into the light
the things that I did not do right
the things that I had failed to do

and so I stood and thought it through
God what do you want me to do
am I meant for this
is my time well spent
in investing and working so hard
when my heart is still remnants and shards
that you are taking apart and strengthening
stretching and lengthening

and here and now
what is this thing
what will this meeting bring

a choice was made
between chopping and slicing
the vegetables
a feast I was dicing
for animals and reptiles and such
my mind was up to too much

I need medicine I thought
a cure for this feeling
that has my mind lost
overwhelmed and reeling
but move forward God said
and watch what I do
I can lift this feeling from inside of you

and so I prayed that he would
and moved forward and tried
and a strength overwhelmed all of my insides

every prayer was answered
every hope fulfilled
as if this job was exactly as he willed
I did my best
and thought naught about the rest
and it became a time God has blessed.

"He raises the poor from the dust
   and lifts the needy from the ash heap;
he seats them with princes
   and has them inherit a throne of honor."
      1 Samuel 2:8
