“Touched by the Hand of God”


My life has been going nowhere.

Nothing ever happens good.
There is no hope left that’s good.
I am not sure that I should,
but I have lost faith in the man called god.

I have prayed a hundred times.
I’ve helped myself many times.
I get nothing every time.
Why do I still try to get help from god?

I just need some help in this life.

I need god to help me out.
No one else will help me out.
Help is what I pray about.
All of my prayers are ignored by god.

People say that god’s the key,
and god will always help thee.
I think it’s all blasphemy.
I have never seen any good in god.

Then one night I had this dream about god.
I looked up and I saw the face of god.
He was not happy with my lack of faith.
He gave me advice to get back my faith.
I cannot sin or talk of blasphemy.
That is the only way of saving me.
He now lets me go and I am set free.

I start to wake up from this dream.

I am thinking of this dream.
I have some hope from this dream.
This might have been just a dream,
but now I pray every day to my god.

I have gained alot of faith.
That dream gave me lots of faith.
Now I have alot more faith.
Because I was touched by the hand of god.
