Mighty Mercy & Miracles (A-to-Z Challenge)

With just a breathed word

Oh God of might and mercy

You do miracles

Bitter waters You turned sweet*

Your command, Red Sea retreats*

~

Even sun and moon*

Both stood still, You answered prayer

All obeyed Your will

Who, awestruck, witnessed wonders

Of justice done, Love’s mercies

~

Life called into Death*

Clasped ‘gainst hearts, loved ones returned

Widow’s oil ran dry*

You replenished jars again…

You heal now as You did then

~

Your kindness endures

Your mighty power ne’er weakens–

These are times of hope

Despite world’s dire distractions

Your direction alerts, guides
