The Mighty Love which doggedly follows us

[Gabrielle Dean]

SILENT GOD 

This is my prayer —

that, though I may not see,

I be aware

of the Silent God

who stands by me.

that, though I may not feel,

I be aware

of the Mighty Love

which doggedly follows me.

That, though I may not respond,

I be aware

that God—my Silent, Mighty God,

waits each day.

quietly, hopefully, persistently,

waits each day and through each night

for me,

for me—alone.
