The Welcomed Eavesdropper

The Welcomed Eavesdropper

By:  Adrie’lle R. Bollin

My Lord heard me as I spoke with my friends

We laughed with delight recounting His stories

How He turned things around and brightened our days

We listened in awe to testimonies of His glories

He smiled with us as He leaned in noting our hearts

For they glowed with His love and emanated His grace

As we went home to our families so filled with faith

He did not leave us but stayed with us each at our place

So filled were we that we woke early to seek His face

Wondering at all the possibilities we peered into heavenly realms

We danced with joy in His arms, sang more heartily than before

Carried the light more brightly, kept it shining at our helms

My Lord saw all these things and His heart was greatly moved

For though our lives held challenges and times of great distress

We remembered Him, His promises and all He had done

We chose the better way, we chose to trust, to abide in His rest

So He wrote what He saw in a book and declared 

That we would be His, a precious gem in His crown

Preserved and cherished for all time and for all to know

Saved from wrath that His love might be shown
