God speaks to man. This I know.
From Eternity to Eternity his knowledge resides.
In Him, believing man finds miracles,
And the faithful man’s fear subsides.

Before our time here we walked and talked with Him.
We learned and grew to meet this fleshy life.
More specifically, our trials were known and we prepared
To continue in truth ‘mid eminent, ample strife.

God speaks to man. This I know.
And as man to his Father does turn,
The mist that covers premortal memories
Parts and our souls do heavenward yearn.

Mysterious at times though His ways do seem
The truth is there to feel
For the humble servant and for the meek
Concrete assurances can heal

God speaks to man. This I know.
And of nothing I’ve been more sure
From His throne on high and to my heart below
He speaks His wisdom pure

Powers unseen come to my aide
They strengthen me
They give me clarity

So hard on myself I near collapse
But others are there
Others help me see

That I am not alone
That I am of worth
That I have a work to do

Thank you Lord for sustaining me
Through the love of my family and friends
Thank you for letting me see your way

I’ve come here to bear, to listen and to share
My life is not my own, but my brother’s alone
To God I give trust and to all I also must

Life’s so short…grant that I may walk in thy paths Lord

K. Arthur on S. Pete…I love you man!

cold and lonely I shiver
questioning what I have become
but through the darkness, persistently
reaches a Pure and Holy One

He calls me in my darkness
and too, He calls in dreams
He seeks my soul to bind to his
and for me he intervenes

through my friends he binds me his
and through my sin he cares
through little things he speaks to me
though oft I’m unawares

When love, that mighty weapon
cuts through the thick black night
a see the times my faith was lit
Again I feel it burning bright

He binds me his with a quiet peace
when I in holy places choose to stand
though too, through my night he comes
When I have let go his loving hand

to be sure, I feel his grace
His hand still reaches for me to find
and though sadly I oft forget
He passes through darkness for me to bind

KA…thanks MJ
