What God has done

Haiku of abundant love


The Lord is gracious;

I will tell what God has done

to bless their people.


God has favoured us,

though we did not deserve it,

because of His love.


My people are true,

honest. God saves her people;

in all their distress.


We’re all God’s people,

you, me, the Muslim, Hindu,

the agnostic, too.


God needs no angel,

divine messenger; God’s

presence alone saves.


Reaching out in love,

God redeems us, lifts us up,

carries us forward.
