God is Listening

God cares about His children,

One and all

He rejoices when they

Take time to call.

When we telephone someone,

We're often told,

"I have to catch another line,

So please hold."

And, God doesn't use

An answering machine,

Nor any electronic device,

His calls to screen.

In our minds, we have not

The wisdom to understand

How God can take everyone's calls

Without "helps" used by man.

But, his loving ears,

Always immediately hear

The faintest cry, or whisper

From a child so dear.

Never have I experienced

A single bit of delay

When I wanted to talk

To our Father, night or day.

Oh! How comforting it is

For us to know

God is listening,

And watching o'er us here below.
