During worship at Church we sang a song with the line:
‘You’re never gonna let, never gonna let me down’
And I was struck by how easy it is to doubt this truth and how we have to actively remind ourself that it is true regardless of circumstance.
As I was mulling this over I wrote a reverse poem… when read from top to bottom it shows the negativity of doubt and when read from bottom to top it shows the truth of faith.
It’s called:
Look down in doubt, or up in faith
You will never let me down
I once heard said yet again
I remain broken
In your glory
I can no longer believe that
You hear me
When you are silent
To believe you love me
When I am against all these obstacles
Difficult and trying
It isn’t
The truth; that you are there
I am alone
How foolish to believe that
You love me.
