The Fingerprints Of God (Poem)

The Fingerprints Of God

Searching for God’s presence, looking all around,
Seeking out the evidence, and examining what I’ve found,
Considering the heavens, the sun, the moon, the stars -
And realizing the Creator loves us, and reaches down to where we are.

There are fingerprints of God all throughout my life;
In the times of victory, and in the times of strife.
When I gaze through all my past, I may not always understand -
But it’s clear the Lord has a purpose, and I am part of that plan.

Though I may not see clearly all the paths He has led me through,
I can see His hand of mercy, His presence in every part I view.
I have never been alone - though I did not know it then,
His love has been ever seeking me, like a Shepherd, like a friend.

When I saw my sin in His sight, how I had wandered from God’s throne,
My Heavenly Father took me in, and welcomed me to His home;
Like the prodigal son, I came running to the Lord for grace;
Accepted in the Beloved, when I trusted Jesus Christ by faith.

The footsteps of the Saviour led me onward from that day;
And one day up in glory, I know I’ll be able to say,
“With God’s fingerprints on my heart, and His mercy from above,
I know I am forever God’s child, because of His grace and of His love.”

(Dedicated to my friend and brother in Christ, Craig)

From Craig - “I always tell my dad God left breadcrumbs leading to Him. And they had His fingerprints all over them .”

Psalms 8:3-4 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

1 Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
