We may not see God’s hand at work,
or even understand,
Yet, we lay our lives upon,
His strong and powerful hand.
We Trust His heart of love,
and walk to him with gladness
Secure that he will bring us out,
of life’s distress and sadness.
We want our faith in God to grow,
until we reach that place,
where we lay our whole life, in His arms,
feeling perfectly safe.
We want our faith to be, as faithful as is He,
and in His loving mercy shine,
As we become the branches,
our live's depending entirely on Him,
and He becomes,
our everlasting vine!!

Beautifully expressed ...
with constant truths woven by interdependency, love, hope and faith.
Well done, Poetess.

I really like the idea, the inspiration behind this poem. It's great. The flow is a little awkward, though, particularly in the last few lines, and in line 2, it should be plural, "lives", rather than singular, "life", but it's one of the best I've read so far!!
Good luck!
