My Lord As I See Him

My Lord As I See Him

A Poem by CreativeCookie
"

Just look to the title. Oh, and in this it has two versions.

"

You may think the Lord hides Himself

But I have seen Him many a time myself

My Lord's eyes are the stars above

The warm sunlight, His constant love

Within the rainbow is His constant smile

His laughter the brook, which bubbles (flows) all the while

His joy in every tree and plant

His intrest in even the smallest ant

His voice in the wind, flowing to and fro

Wispering or roaring where'ere you go

 

Another Version

 

You may think the Lord hides Himself

But I have seen Him many a time myself

My Lord's eyes are the stars above

The warm sunlight, His constant love

Within the rainbow His smile lay

His laughter in the brook, flowing on each day

His joy in every animal, tree, and plant

His artistry in even the smallest ant

His voice in the wind, telling you never to fear

For He, in His love, will always be near

I like both versions. Each seems to show that we can see the presence of the Lord not as a single entity but as so many displays of people doing and helping others and so many gifts; the beauty of nature, the smile of one person to another, the kindness one extends to a stranger, the compassion deeply felt that moves someone to care for another, and the faith that we are not alone when we face adversity.

Down through the ages, many such poems as this have been written; but for me they all share a common theme, which is belief in a higher and mostly benevolent hand.

No-one if the truth be told can actually imagine that the way it all works is simply the accident of evolution; synergy is one thing, creation, entirely another.

I prefer the second version, but both speak a great truth.

I like the two versions of your poem. We can't see God but we believe he's alive by our faith. He's the creator of all masterpieces. Excellent poem! Nice!

My faith has been tested on more than one occasion, so I'm with fergul on this.

I like the first one better but it is very close. I love what you convey here. So very true & beautiful. thanks for writing this.

It's the third version I often think about. You know, the one where we think about the dark side and how the warmongering aberrant gene in mankind slipped through the creative net.

I prefer the second one. I love the last two lines of the second one that really illustrate the comfort from the Lord. I also like the third line much better in the second. "His artistry in even the smallest ant"

Really enjoyed this poem!

I like the first best, but it's a very close run thing. Both are lovely and uplifting and speak the truth about our Lord.

We all see him differently, but he sees us all as his children, no matter race, colour or creed.

Beccy.
