God’s Sovereignty, His Presence - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

At the heart of our worship
in the lessons of the righteous
brought before God
Job’s questions and God’s answers
speaking of our nature
the distance between heaven
and the place of man

Our lives put in perspective
our suffering not to be understood
faith alone, in the wisdom of God
His ways not our own
his truths we must trust
Do not question the Lord
in them lies our sin
