Lasting Love Poem ~ Everlasting Love
by Dr. Mercy Abraham

God's everlasting love envelops me like a blanket
In the sky so dull and grey
I can just lie down His arms
Like a new born babe to be consoled.

All is quiet and calm here
Sounds from distance haunt me like a nightmare
I wonder who can withstand the evil forces
Of nature when the whole world trembles

As a lady on the verge of labor
Love is sweetest when mingled with sorrow as
We see on the Calvary Cross

I am here standing as a forlorn sinner
Asking for forgiveness for the sins, which I have done
You understand me better.

Tenderness and love
Mingled together, none but Thee,
I want this, hour
When everything else in the world seems futile
