Who am I to withstand God?
Originally published for the Christian Science Sentinel online on January 19, 2024
When Truth is speaking, will I say,
“I’m not listening, go away”?
Who am I to withstand God?
When Spirit mandates strength and light,
will I try to thwart God’s might?
Who am I to withstand God?
When Love offers health and life,
will I insist on constant strife?
Who am I to withstand God?
When Principle shows me the way,
will I balk or hedge—delay?
Who am I to withstand God?
When Mind communicates, “Fear not,”
will I complain, “Fear’s all I’ve got”?
Who am I to withstand God?
When Soul whispers, “Peace, be still,”
will I let my heart be filled?
Who am I to withstand God?
When Life tells me, “Give more—give!”
will I love, which is to live?
Who am I to withstand God?
Oh, who am I to withstand God?
