Haiti - A Land Not Too Far Away

Not long ago, in a land
not too far away -
held a distant future.
Gods light upon thee
did lay.

"Only trust", He said.
"Trust and obey."
And we did.

Not a single step was easy.
Not one ahead was guaranteed.
God, the only source of light,
took us up
and we held onto Him
through the troubled sea.

And just a breath away
lies before us a brand new land -
within the Caribbean.

Heavens gates are open wide.
And like the sea of old
where Israel waited on their God,
He answers and parts the sea
in one mighty command.

"For who is God,
except the Lord?
And who is a rock,
except our God?"

Not long ago, in a land
really not that far away
God knew!
And His light will shine.

Oh Haiti,
"The Lord rules as king.
Let the earth rejoice.
Let all the islands be joyful."
Psalm 97:1
