od Knows The Score

Have you ever heard the name Helen Steiner Rice?  Several years ago I purchased a book entitled "Poems of Faith," by Helen Steiner Rice.  The book shares many beautiful poems. Helen was a "gifted lady from Ohio."  She has blessed millions of people through her prose and poetry.  It is said that Helen "considered herself simply 'a worker in the vineyard of the Lord'."  Helen is now rejoicing in Heaven since April of 1981.

 

Today, July 19, 2001, via the internet, I was privileged to read one poem that was written by Helen Steiner Rice.  The poem is entitled "GOD KNOWS THE SCORE!" 

          May the following poem also speak to your heart:

 

GOD KNOWS THE SCORE

by Helen Steiner Rice

 

Have you ever been caught in a web you didn't weave,

Involved in conditions that are hard to believe?

Have you felt you must speak and explain or deny

A story that's groundless or a small, whispered lie?

Have you ever heard rumors you would like to refute

Or some telltale gossip you would like to dispute?

Well, don't be upset for God knows the score

And with God as your judge you need worry no more,

For men may misjudge you but God's verdict is fair

For He looks deep inside and He is clearly aware

Of every small detail in your pattern of living

And always He's lenient and fair and forgiving--

And knowing that God is your judge and your jury

Frees you completely from man's falseness and fury,

And secure in this knowledge

Let your thoughts rise above

Man's small, shallow judgments that are so empty of

God's Goodness and Greatness in judging all men.
