This poem was written a while ago (November, to be exact!), but I thought I'd post it now since it fit in with my Bible reading in Exodus. (And yes, dad, I'm behind, so I just read this story today :D.)
When one thinks about it, Pharoah wasn't the one who took the straw away from the Israelites. This poem is based on that view of God's sovereignty! (Some edits since the rough draft, in case you remember this one, Ms. Marla :).)
When God takes away the straw--
When you're in the Lion's maw--
When the choice is God or law--
What will you do?
What will you feel?
What will you think?
What will you know?
When my life is on the line--
When all clamour for a sign--
When I change my will to Thine--
What will I do?
What will I feel?
What will I think?
Will I resign
My will for His?
I will shout,
I will soar,
I will know,
I will resign!
Every blessing!

I'm glad you shared this one again. I really enjoy your poetry :D
I meant to comment on that last hymn you posted too (your dad did as well). I can't wait to see it in the hymnal some day. I love the words.
Sisters of the Armour rock!!!
But we already knew that :)
Ditto, Nella! That's what I told Erica. ;)
