Did you ever hear
God’s whisper
In your ear
“I love you”
* * *
Smiling babies, dancing daisies
Climbing roses, shimmering meadows
Gifted for you
* * *
Did you ever notice
That secret message
Encrypted in Heaven
Painted in the sky
To get your attention
“I am thinking of you”
* * *
Did you ever
Feel God’s hands
Lifting you up
Holding you tight
“You mean so much to me”
“I will never let go of you”
* * *
Turquoise oceans, deep forest mountains
Golden beaches, hills and valleys
Spread out to bring joy to you
* * *
Did you ever
Watch God’s splendour!
Bestowed upon you
Tears fall down
Head on the ground
Spellbound, it leaves you
* * *
When all goes dark
When hopes fade away
No one around
No end in sight
Lo and behold,
Out of God’s kindness
A light so bright, glows inside you
* * *
Did you ever
Read God’s mystic letter
Flowing with affection
Signed with love, sent only for you
* * *
Did you ever know
How highly honoured
How much adored
By The One who
– Out of nothing, fashioned you
* * *
Did you ever
Feel God’s tender kiss
Enchanting you
Leaving in dazzling awe,
That wild child in you
* * *
Did you ever
Hear God’s voice; sweet, sublime, serene
A gentle stream, lilac perfume, morning dew
Mist and sunshine, solely for you
* * *
In the silence of the desert
In the pounding of waterfalls
In the laughter of Your children
In the stillness of the stone
I feel Your love, I hear Your voice
“Forget me not”
“Rely on Me, I am always there”
I thank You Lord, I love You so
Let Your will be always mine
* * *
