A. J. KURUVILLA, POETRY

ABIDE IN US – A. J. Kuruvilla

The beautiful blue sky,

The shining golden stars,

The lilies of the valley,

The flowing rivers and streams,

The bright and morning star,

The rising and setting sun,

The gentle breeze and the roaring thunder,

The eagles that flap their wings,

Swooping around the banana plantations

Like fighter planes.

They land onto the banana bunch,

To suck the sweet honey,

Their tasty dinner God has made.

The farmer watching the beautiful scene ,

From his easy chair in the verandah,

All these remind us of the

Wonderful work of our Creator.

Praise Him for His mighty acts.

How on earth can we forget the Creator?

Oh no! Never in our lifetime,

The sweet and gentle Saviour,

Praise Him for His mercy,

Saviour, always abide in us.
