Healing from God - summer

To look at people through God's eyes -
what would I see?
A whole lot of people
hurting more than me!
Pain from the inside,
pain from without,
so much suffering
in a world filled with doubt...
evils around us
while faith is God's cure,
Christ saw us all
through a life that was pure
as compassion from the Father flowed
to heal every suffering
in a way we can't know.
So every day
let me pray
that God will restore
each sorrowing soul -
for His eyes are on the people
and He desires to see us whole.

God is All - summer

God is the feeling of the forest
though He is not the trees.
He is not the sun in the sky
but the light of day that it brings.
God may not be blue
but He is the covering over us all,
He's the warmth of a temperate day
and the feeling of it -
that is His way.
God is the water of a quenching cool stream
where there is no more thirst
because of what His Spirit brings.
He is rest without fatigue,
and comfort when there is no pain.
He is life itself
refreshing us with His eternal rain.
God is good
and when from this earth He calls
we won't be lacking anything we may have left -
at all.
