God Remains

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: March 8, 2009

An anthem for a fearful nation…

God remains our source of courage
when we're traumatized by fear.
When we're haunted by the headlines
and the stock reports we hear.
Yet God whispers in the silence,
"Don't despair, I'm in control.
Hurting hearts and broken cities
will at last one day be whole."

God remains our source of comfort
in this bleak economy.
When predictions voiced from Wall Street
pry away our inner peace.
Still God whispers in the silence,
"When banks fail and markets fall,
I won't leave you or forsake you.
I'll sustain you through it all."

God invites us to be trusting
when we find that faith is hard.
When we're  fearful for the future
and our nerves are frayed or jarred.
Hear God whisper in the silence,
"Even when your faith is weak,
I will keep your feet from stumbling
though your way is dark and bleak."
