WHO CAN UNDERSTAND



Who can understand the words on the page

When sometimes they seem so out of place

But I’ll write on with my pen in hand

To encourage all that I can



Some words may seem unimportant to man

But can one really understand

The written Word that comes from my heart

The heart of our Father written with love



Written with love for all the world to see

His spoken Word has set me free

It touched my heart and wiped away

All of the stains of yesterday



Who can understand the words on a page

Until you find Him and His loving grace

The Words on the page not written with ink

But they’re written by the finger of God



Prophetess Gail
