In the Day of Trouble I Sought the LORD
“Call upon Me” is a gracious invitation from the Lord,
The heart is deeply moved to seek a truly merciful God.
The day of trouble comes soon enough,
The trials of life can be unnervingly rough.
How should one call upon the Lord Most High?
Surely not with a complaining spirit that is nigh.
It is so easy to let frustration go to our heart,
We feel that we are almost coming apart!
We are challenged instead to remember the Lord,
The great works of God were not done for naught.
When they are remembered they give hope to the soul,
Through meditation our restless spirit is made whole.
Meditation on the works of God is almost a lost art today,
We would like God to answer us quickly, without delay.
God calls us to seek Him with faith and wisdom to wait,
He will answer us and He will not leave us to a hopeless fate.
