.About the Author
For my Great Grandpa, George Albigence Pierce
Who passed down his love of poetry
And especially for my family,
Who faithfully provide the rhyme and reason in my life.
Who Is He?
He is What He is
There was no cause that brought Him into existence
No event that foreshadowed His being
No power that unstopped his ears or opened His eyes
He has always been, all knowing, all seeing
He is an ungoverned God
Sadly for many, unknown
He is powerful, sovereign, but chooses to love us
Guiding us in Christ’s Spirit, to become full grown
He is a faithful and unchanging God
Our shepherd, our way, our gate
Totally Holy and justified
Trust Him now to lovingly secure your eternal fate.
Everything Belongs to God
It all belongs to God!
How long I struggled with that in my heart
My pride and self importance
Refused to relinquish my part
My accomplishments and possessions
We’re only partly due to Him
Some had come to me through my hard work
Some were just coveted and bought on a whim
How foolish was this perspective
His ownership not to recognize
The universe is His to rule
From largest mountain to things infinitesimal in size
And speaking of things of tiny size
My understanding was just as
