When I Was In Trouble
When I was in trouble, I cried out in my
need.
I promised God, His Word I would heed.
But things got better, I was feeling just
fine.
I forgot about God, and that promise of
mine.
I'd
had miscarriages, one after another.
My greatest desire was to be a mother.
In grief and despair I offered God a deal.
Let me have this baby, and I'll serve you, I
will!
My
son grew, and was healthy and strong
I was happy and thought nothing was wrong.
Then one day my child, felt pain in his head
In a matter of hours, He was dead.
In
anguish with tears streaming, I cried out to
God,
You gave me a child, now he lays 'neath the
sod.
What kind of God, would do such a thing,
Then my own voice, in my ears did ring.
I
could hear myself promising, that I'd serve
Him
That promise was empty, so the deal had to
end.
If I live to be a hundred, I won't forget
the day
God called in my promise, there was nothing
I could say.
So
when you're in trouble, think before you
speak
Don't make God promises that you can't keep.
He's the best friend, that you've ever
found.
Please, don't break your promises and let
Him down.

This poem is written in
the first person only
because it came together
that way, it is not
about me, or any one in
particular, it's just
something God gave me
and I believe it is for
someone, whoever you
are, let it speak to
your heart. God loves
you and will forgive if
you'll just make things
right with Him. |
