A Pantoum a Day no. 39

He Heard Me

I cried out to the Lord and He heard me,

bringing His miracle-deliverance when I needed it most.

When I had nothing,

desperate and defeated,

bringing His miracle-deliverance when I needed it most.

Encircling me,

desperate and defeated,

empowering me,

encircling me,

and showing me how to escape.

Empowering me!

He will do this for everyone who fears God.

And showing me how to escape,

I cried out to the Lord and He heard me!

He will do this for everyone who fears God,

When I had nothing.

A Pantoum a Day no. 38

Don’t give up; don’t be impatient;

be entwined as one with the Lord.

Be brave and courageous,

and never lose hope.

Be entwined as one with the Lord.

Yes, keep on waiting—

and never lose hope

for He will never disappoint you!

Yes, keep on waiting—

Yet I believe with all my heart,

for He will never disappoint you,

that I will see again Your goodness.

Yet I believe with all my heart!

Don’t give up; don’t be impatient,

that I will see again your goodness.

Be brave and courageous!
