Nothing Just Happens!

When clouds of gloom from all over gather
when seasoned pain has robbed me of my precious laughter
when i endure endless days of stinging sorrow
with bitter nights often harboured in the deepest of burrows
I am reminded ...to God
Nothing Just Happens!

When the seas, in fury resound
and loneliness in my life greatly abound
when my hopes and dreams are swept away in the eye of the storm
when all around me is silence and I have nowhere to call my home
I am still reminded..to God
Nothing Just Happens!

When my calloused heart betrays and strays from His Divinely will
and in my folly, I partake from the table of covectiousness
He gently sends His Holy Spirit and woos me back to the fold
For in Him abides all Righteousness and Faithfulness
Then again it rings true....to God
Nothing Just Happens!

When my burdens become to heavy to bear
worn out,gutted and laden with despair
He carries me in His wings and wipes away my tears
and I soldier on thru' my hardest of years as He whispers to my ear
"Neither will I leave you or forsake you my son"

To what can I equate this unfathomble Love?
Who can boast of such immeasurable Granduer?
He who sees me while in my mother's womb
and owns my life upto my very tomb!
Thru' Him I regain my Heavenly Royalty
The King Almighty who rules the heavens and the earth till and beyond eternity
The Strength in my time of need.My Maker,Redeemer and Saviour and Friend
In Him.....Nothing Just Happens!

I choose then, not to serve to fate
Nor deny my faith in dubiuos haste
But Trust Him who holds my soul in the palm of His Hand
For now i know and truly understand

As His Child......Nothing Just Happens!
