Mysterious Ways

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

I love you Father. No one knows my heart but you. I guess there really IS a reason that my faith is to be placed in you and you alone. Savior may I learn to love thee and walk the path that thou hast shown?
