God at the Docks

It’s a change that I can make.
The Lord’s promises do not fail.
I long to sit on the dock at the lake.
I long for letters in my mail.

Hezekiah did not want to die.
The Lord hears the righteous’ plea.
A tombstone and a buzzing fly…
“I’m not yet who I want to be.”

The city streets are always bright.
The Lord gave Judas wine and bread.
Even bugs are drawn to light,
So well-placed spiders get well fed.

Adam and Eve could have done better.
The Lord’s chances are not fake.
How long til someone writes a letter?
How long did Adam’s grieving take?

I like it when the lake is calm.
The Lord will finish what He starts.
Which was David’s favorite Psalm?
The Lord will heal our wounded hearts.
