The Best Poem Of David Ugba

Unknown God

There is an unknown God
Who saw your shame
When you were pushed down and stripped naked
Who watched in pains
When your heart was full of tears

There is an unknown God
Who was moved by your tears
When the whole world mocked you
Who saw your heart
When you were falsely accused

There is an unknown God
Who stooped to your pains
When you were tired and resting
Who felt your heartbeat
When it was going and hurting

There is an unknown God
Who wiped your tears when you looked into his eyes
Who lifted you up above the storms of sorrows
When you hold on to him and cry “Daddy”

There is an unknown God
Who sees your heart
When you speak the truth
Who knows your heart
When it is full of love or hate

There is an unknown God
Who will quench the flame of your hunger
When you shall lift up your cup to his mercies
Who will fill the hot well of your thirst
When you come to his river


He is at the door of your heart
Knocking and waiting

Open and call him by Name:
' Lord Jesus Christ
The savior of my soul'

He will answer by fire
And abide with you forever
