Analysis of Lord Willing. The phrase that pesters.
Pastor stood up there
Looked straight ahead to them
Said to them.
'I stand here only by God's mercy
His protection provision.
Wisdom and solace.
Second and third
And however many chances.
Stabilizing Hand in storms.
Had a bundle of them, Guys.'
I sat about half way back
Sighing, grimacing, doubting.
BUT the very next day
Had one hellish batch
Of horrible events and attacks.
Life can get like that.
Singing Pastor's Tune now.
And leaning, yes leaning
On the Everlasting Arms.
Each Day for itself.
