Relentless God

Our ruthless God seems just a juggernaut,
relentless with the force of nature’s law,
His fallen world has us poor creatures caught,
once knowing Him, we stand agape in awe.
The winter’s cold, and yet God’s love is warm,
when I am hungry, God provides the bread,
He always gives me shelter fom the storm,
the earth may quake, God steadies me instead.
Nature may bruise, I’m none the worse for wear,
my body suffers yet God guards my soul,
if I but turn to Him in humble prayer,
I see His hand is always in control.
God’s ruthless and relentless in a sense
within His overarching Providence.
