God's Living Truth Poem by Tom Zart

Open a paper or turn on the news
And you’re bound to become upset.
Seeing man’s world suffering from greed
Always at war and victim of regret.


For all our failings, weaknesses and mistakes
We must seek the wisdom of the Lord.
Who gives pain its purpose and life its joy
By His wonders we could never afford.

Confront life’s lies with God’s living truth
Which He has blessed us to conquer what’s wrong.
We embrace our Shepherd by our actions
As we celebrate His love by prayer, deeds and song.
