My Lord

You've painted me pictures, you've sang me songs
You've wiped my tears away, you've moved me along.
You've give me strength to stand up
when all i've wanted was to lie still
But i've been able to do anything
under the umbrella of your strength and your will.
You provide all that I need every day i've drawn in breath
You'll be right there with me, even in death.
They say you come into this world with nothing 
and you leave this world with nothing as well
From this world I'll take a piece of you
because you picked me up every time I fell.
I want to do nothing more than to become more like you
every endeavor I embark on you've seen me through.
I can feel the peace of your warming smile
I never fear being alone because you've been here all the while.
When the worlds troubles are whispering in my ear
you remind me, I have nothing to fear.
You're right there holding my hand
just as you said you always would
I call out to you in times of trouble
just as you said I should.
Most days my heart doesn't ache
my mind isn't filled with fear
you possess the loving compassion I need,
my best interest at heart, you hold me so near. 
I pray to keep you in my heart always
in my thoughts you should always be
my mouth is for your praises
anything I am missing, open my eyes to see. 


"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works 
are wonderful, I know that full well."
Psalm 139:14
