You are rest when i am weary
You are peace when i am torn
You are life that’s everlasting
and a balm when i’ve been shorn
You are strength inside the darkness
strong companion in each night
You are near in every struggle
always ready for the fight
and when dawn breaks, the sun rises
and the earth is full of dew
all the mountains and the trees
and every star, they sing to You
and i join them here this morning
with a full and open heart
amazing grace have i been given
sweet the sound of my small part
You are holy, You are pure
You’re never tainted by my sin
not one speck, not one small sliver
has ever weaseled its way in
You are filled right up with mercy
with compassion and with grace
and You light up all our lives
with one short look at Your good face
You are joy that’s everlasting
You’re the fountain of all truth
You’re a surgeon with precision
containing all good power to soothe
You are master and commander
the plan grows ripe within Your hands
You are King above all kings
above all presidents and lands
You know well what’s buried deep
what’s hiding way down in my heart
and yet You love me with such patience
for You have set my name apart
You’ve been faithful on this journey
as You’re faithful here today
ever-flowing streams of mercy
as You lead me on the way
You are here, right here beside us
as You have forever been
never shifting like the shadows
now, and always, and amen
Beautiful truth.
A good way to start each day.
Thank you Jodi, I really love this beautiful poem. It is one that I will read and think about often. When I am struggling with my prayer time this says it all to God.
