God In Touch

Sometimes, O God, I feel You are not there,
have You deserted me, am I alone?
I want to know, I want to feel You care,
I pray for bread, do not give me a stone.*

If love’s forever, Lord, why can’t I feel it?
If feelings come and go, does love remain?
We made a deal, I felt my feelings seal it.
What makes love real? Is unfelt love in vain?

You proved Your love, O Lord, long, long ago,
depending not on feelings, sight or touch,
Your soul commitment cannot help but show,
You ask my love by faith and trust, that much.

You made me, Lord, my little prayer You hear,
You’re there, and here, so I should have no fear.

* Luke 11:11
