No Hands but Ours

No soul could walk this earth alone
and still emerge believing.
The fertile ground for faith is found
in giving and receiving.

The Wounded Heart
©2009 Susan Noyes Anderson (poem only)
To every heart, a wound must come;
no soul is free from this.
Some enemy or friend will deal
a blow that breaks your bliss.

Holly and mistletoe, Mom kissing Pop

The Savior’s Art

If I accept His sacrifice divine,
Returning love for love as He has done;
If I forget myself and touch the one
Whose sorrows weigh as heavily as mine;
Consecration Prayer
©1999 by Susan Noyes Anderson, Awaken Your Spiritual Power, Karisma Press
I consecrate my soul to thee,
who died for me on Calvary;
this life devoted to thy care,
who hung and bled and suffered there;
Charity, The Pure Love of Christ
©1993 Susan Noyes Anderson, Star Light, Star Books, Inc.
Will our hearts ever know the love
That does not count the loss;
That bows itself beneath our sin
And suffers on the cross;
Peace, My Child
©1999 Susan Noyes Anderson, Awaken Your Spiritual Power, Karisma Press (poem only)
I thought I walked this earth alone,
beneath my burdens bowed,
until I found I could not bear
their weight and cried aloud.
A Parent’s Reverie
©1997 Susan Noyes Anderson, At the End of Your Rope, There’s Hope,
Deseret Book (poem only)
Sometimes, when I am quite alone and still,
The Spirit speaks and whispers words of truth:
That I am not the master of your youth
And was not called to bend you to my will.
