“I Heard Them Saying That God Was Dead”
I heard them saying that God was dead
But the sun still rose at dawn.
And the stars still twinkled o’er my head
When the last sunlight was gone.
The moon serene smiled sweetly on
The storm clouds reared on high
The lightnings flashed; the thunders rolled
In power across the sky.
The trees still bowed to the passing wind
And the earth drank in the rain.
And deep in my heart the Spirit sang
A glad and sweet refrain.
“All things are upheld by My mighty power
I govern from shore to shore.
I hold thee in life from hour to hour
And I live forevermore.”
John F Dorsey was born today 1/3/1916 in Ohio. His life has been a blessing through sermons (evangelist, pastor, Bible teacher) and through his pen, both in poetry and in prose. See A Farmer Looks at the Parables.
