| As my life flashed back,
ecstacy I felt
Vast difference, from present and past Miracle survival, the day of my birth When finally I gasped, for a breath of air Childhood scars, in fear I bore Teenage awkwardness, I wallow in shyness My inadequacies so many, I disliked myself
"Why am I in this world?, What's the purpose of life?" Mind so uncertain, heart so vulnerable Like a jigsaw puzzle, that's left unfinished There's a missing piece, to make me complete Began the search, for an everlasting love A pot of gold, at the rainbow's end Cleared my misted vision, a mountain appears Breathtakingly glorious, majestic to behold A beautiful rainbow, stretching from the foot Up into cotton clouds, touching the shimmering top Overwhelming to attain, but hopeful in reaching My heart in thrill, eternal treasure in Heaven awaits
His assuring words, repeating in my mind "I will never leave you, nor forsake you" Heb 13:5 The ground I tested, gingerly with my toes As I stroll along, with my bagpack on my back The path was lovely, sprinkled with flowers Rabbits scutter by, birds singing in the air My eyes resting, on gold dust at the bank The moment's too good, I savoured longer Waving at Jesus, as He disappears from my sight Grieved by my conduct, He waits for me The Devil is watching, with a smirk on his face "Open your bagpack, I will show you more glory!"
Attracting lions and wolves, into my domain Suddenly came night, enveloping me around Gold dust were dust, in the chaos of gloom Depression sieged me, as I reflect upon my state I cried, "Deliver me Jesus, from the hands of my enemies" Out shines Jesus, dissolving all darkness |
Tears streamed down,
I began to weep
My whole being shook with sobs so deep, Bended on my knees, I cried for shame, For forgetting His sacrifice at Calvary With tear filled eyes, I saw Him stood His arms stretched out, to drawn me in I saw in His eyes, sorrow deeper than my own He whispers, "You are chosen and dearly loved" 1 Thes 1:4
My bagpack He took, and carried for me Held my hands, in His nail bored Ones I lifted my eyes, to the mountain peak, Lowered my gaze at the jagged edge, unpredictable paths ahead of me "You are a conqueror in all things through Me" Rom 8:37 Words so comforting, His presence even more Following wherever my Shepherd leads Looking at His creation, through His eyes of love Moments with Him, sprouts new understanding Across raging rivers, into fields of wild flowers His gifts of the Spirit, received with awe As He guides me to fish, with net and not rod
Lessons to learn, in all circumstances He comforts me gently, when I feel afraid He carries me up, when I'm all worn out Builds me a shade, from the scorching sun Teaches me to soar, to overcome dark valleys He knows the ways, He's been there before Always looking ahead, keeping with His pace The view I enjoy, the breeze keeps me cool My needs He provides, my blessings He pours His words as guide, lighting up my path New adventures encountered, He's there to share
Could never compare, to what He is to me My Friend, my Companion, my Brother, my King All I once thought great, I lay them at His feet I count them lost, compared to Him My Saviour and my Lord, my All in all |
