I know you chose me
as youre own.
You haven’t discarded me,
You have remained.
.
I know youre looking out for me
Youre watching even when im unaware
Youre looking out for my provision & my protection
You take me to places where i can rest –
And there sleeping under the dry brush –
You wake me & feed me –
.
You take me to places of refreshment and peace. All your paths are peace –
All my anxiety – all my wounds are healed in your care. You soothe me, in ways i didnt even know i needed to be soothed.
Then you guide me into your will…
through your path of sorrows – tread by your footprints, your blood staining the snow – waist high broken path – you pull through the first cut…
.
i am ignorant of your ways – but you teach me – seamlessly i am doing your will… and you do it so i can trust you.
You do it to increase my faith – in a world where there is no dependability – You prove yourself dependable.
im walking in death – below deaths gaze – through the very territory of death, and there you walk with me….
i have never heard you mutter, “i did my walk of death already!“
.
…fear and fate flee away
You comfort me armed to the teeth
and the way you eat so casually with the enemy…
Until youre afraid, i will try to remain unafraid…
.
…you’ve choosen …me!
– from among all my brothers who have taught me my place –
You lift me up!
You annoint me!
You give me, the double portion.
You bless me – & what youve given me will not be taken away from me.
All the days of my life i will live in this blessing. I am yours – & you are mine
forever.
