God calls us by name - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

In the quiet
in the garden
in our slumber
our sorrow, our struggle
when we are joyful
when we are sad
God calls us by name
just like Jesus in the garden
calling Mary from her anguish
He is risen, Christ is alive
right by our side
walking with us
when we have faith
when we believe
just as Mary did
understanding his forgiveness
reconciliation, new birth
walking with our Savior
all our days on this earth
