THE SMILE OF GOD

The Smile of God

( Click on the music video at the bottom of the post titled: Jesus, Joy of Man's desire, Bach, the last one on the right preferably , and then read this poem in the meantime )

The desert with no end, strife is ahead of you
Problems abound and signs of relief are but few
You walk the path laden with inconveniences
Vexations lead to sins with bad appearances

Contacts with God strengthen you bit by bit in faith
And you rise gradually by avoiding the bait
Of despair, unbelief, you'll cling tight to his promise
To deliver you out of all your growing mess

The Spirit leads you to new horizons, blue skies
Where you may feel better, enjoy such stronger ties
With your Father and the love and the grace of Jesus
Empowering our soul and thus forgiving us

The gates of Heaven will open up your thinking
And you will see the hand of your Majestic King
In the grandeur of a wonderful universe
Where God to disorder is so clearly averse

Stars will shine in your mind as to your eyes, you'll see
God in charge, his power to lead you in the sea
Of life with a future for your good desires
As long as you believe when you walk through fires

The breeze will wake you up and nature will welcome
Your weary soul, then the sweet smile of God will come
Through your heart, you will take time to enjoy flowers
On your path, the green leaves of the trees, His wonders

You will see, you will smell, you will hear, you will feel
The smile of God to you, in nature you will fill
Your lungs of His breath like in the Niagara Falls
You'll stand tall again with God's smiling in His Halls
