They were filled with awe and said who can this be.

His words are like soothing  caressing balm.

He asks only that we be willing to hear and  see.

He must make four fold restoration for the lamb.

For doing such a thing and showing no compassion.

Often criticism is so much  dreary sham.

But David had to pay the price for his passion.

When our life’s raft is surrounded by angry seas.

When our faults surface and we lose all hope.

There is one who will put our fears at ease .

He throws it out and gratefully we grasp the rope.

We may think him fast asleep.

But he is here , we need not weep.

…….

Outside the storm stirs

The trees bend in the strong wind

But here all is safe

….
