My God, My Restorer – A Pantoum
My God, my Restorer is near
When all is lost and carried away
He comes to heal by His sacrifice
When darkness surrounds my soul
When all is lost and carried away
He restores peace with His grace
When darkness surrounds my soul
He is the Light to show me the way
He restores peace with His grace
He comes to heal by His sacrifice
He is the Light to show me the way
My God, my Restorer is near

I hope you enjoyed this beautifully-written piece!
I’m in the middle of a dark tunnel of school responsibilities, but there is a light at the end, it is NOT an oncoming train, and it heralds some changes for this blog! Plus some great new reviews.
This is beautiful!
Thank you. 🙂 Peace, Linda
Beautiful poem, Linda–and it is my testimony too. God bless you–love, sis Caddo
Caddo, When I think of what I have lost and what He has restored, I am humbled and amazed. 🙂 Peace, Linda

Here is lovely, formal poetry to inspire you, from Linda!
Love this, Linda! Beautiful work! And so true. Its intricacies sound like the Hebrew poetry of the Old Testament.
Bless you!

Maria, Thanks for the kind compliment. I really like the pantoum form for Christian poetry and it is nice that it can be anywhere from 3 stanzas to as many as a poet can write. 🙂 Peace, Linda
I am so glad that He restores me, Linda! Thank you for this wonderful Pantoum and God bless you!
Deb, I’m glad, too! This poem was inspired by Joel 2:25-26 where God says He will restore what has been destroyed. What a blessing! Peace, Linda
