God, You Are My Comfort!

This was the closing prayer poem from my sermon It Shall Not Return to Me Empty. August 20, 2023. First Chinese Baptist Church, Walnut, California.


God, You Are My Comfort!

Like water in the desert

With streams that overflow —

God, you are my comfort!

You satisfy my soul.

Like fire for the winter

With light to pierce the dark —

God, you are my comfort!

You warm my weary heart.

Like shelter in the thunder

With shielding from the rain —

God, you are my comfort!

You cover sin and shame.

Like bread for all who hunger

With words to taste and see —

God, you are my comfort!

You fill with joy and peace.
