Poetry

---

The man that trusts in other men be cursed,
It's lusts of this world that he'll thirst;
Desires of his heart departs from the Lord,
As Holy Scriptures will be totally ignored;
He shall be like a bush growing in a desert,
Unable to see when good came in its effort;
He is to dwell in parched and barren places,
An uninhabited land not seeing any faces;
But blessed is who trusts in our Lord God,
With hope in God as you to honor and laud;
He will be as a tree planted by the rivers,
Spreading his roots as our God delivers.
God will provide who will put their trust,
And stop their desires of an earthly lust;
For He will not provide if you will shun,
When your quest for greed has begun;
And as despair puts your life in awry,
All alone you will be left high and dry;
Still there is hope if you are in need,
When in God we trust you will succeed.
