All my life I've known of His presence
Been told everything of His power
But has He ever done anything for me?
Has He shown me His infinite power and wisdom?
I have to answer that question with truth
The whole truth and nothing but the truth
So help me God
The answer is yes
I may not live my life the way He wishes
But I know He has a plan for me
He's opened doors for me and closed others
Just so I'd take the route He's mapped out
He's got me out of tricky situations
Heard my cries when I've been alone
Brought me through hell and high water
Just what did I do to deserve His aid?
I can't promise anything
I don't know how to give my life away
Just as long as He knows what I'm doing
I know I'll be okay

There is always a plan and purpose for a person's life. I am glad that you know you are in safe hands. There is no need to worry, just trust and obey.

I cautiously read this for fear your answer would be an affirmative 'no'. There is no way that He doesn't exist. I wasn't raised in a Christiam home, far from it, but I knew since I was a young child that there was a God. Nobody ever told me, I somehow knew. Years later, I made a committment. He has never failed me. Thanks for sharing this.

Amen! This is a really powerful poem! I love how He works don't you? It's sad that even the doors He closes to keep us on the straight path that He chose for us... we sometimes open the doors He closed. Well done on this write!
God Bless you and good luck,
Jenna
