God Touched Me    

   by Frank Henrich April 15, 2007

God touched my life,
  It came unexpectedly,
And suddenly now
  My life is changed forever.

Before the world was only
  What I could see,
But now I fully realize
  The spirit world is alive.

God cares for little me
  For He touched me,
In my sorrow and concern,
  He reached out to me.

He cares for me,
  Little me, no great saint,
Just an ordinary person,
  How great is His love!

In church, I was taught
  That God is spirit and alive,
And I hoped it was true,
  Suddenly, I knew it was.

Oh! what a change
  It has made in my life,
Before, coping only with the seen,
  Now, I am comforted by His presence.

What is this life in the spirit?
  How does it function?
Can it be defined?
  Jesus, I need your help.

God used a yellow rose
  And inner voice to awaken me,
From passivity to newness,
  I have a new horizon to search.

Has God awakened you?
  If not, ask Him,
And when it happens,
  Your vista will expand.

You will seek His face,
  And learn to understand,
His ways and how
  They guide you.

It is like suddenly finding
  A door that was invisible,
And it opens and bids
  That you enter.

You enter and find,
  A world where prayer,
Bible studies, and retreats,
  Engage your mind.

You will come to
  Understand that God is alive,
Your sleepy life
  Will awaken to a new dawn.
