YOU were with me
In the beginning it was YOU.
All was done and complete.
At some stage of all of this I became me before I knew myself.
Abba Father, my beloved, the road to my life’s path had begun.
YOU were with me
I needed someone to care for me.
Parents and teachers to pray and tell me all about YOU so I could understand.
I was truly blessed and life seemed good.
YOU were with me
Growing up I had choices,
What life’s path I wanted to follow. Some were good and some were not. I forgot about YOU.
I did this without YOU by my side.
YOU were with me
I fell apart. I cried. I was sad.
I was angry. I was happy. I laughed. I danced, but still forgot about YOU.
YOU were with me
As I grew older and more mature, YOU became clearer, I began to understand YOU.
I wanted to know YOU more.
My faith was restored.
YOU were with me
I was tested in my human way.
Choices about life and what it was all about. I had pain and suffering beyond my strength. I cried often. Why me?
I did not understand.
YOU were with me
Soon the beautiful picture became clearer.
YOU are with me all the time.
I see you LORD as my comforter, my saviour and my friend.
I need to talk to YOU, pray, learn and listen to all who know YOU. YOU are my strength and light.
I know now and understand.
YOU are the way and the truth and the life.
YOU died to save me.
I am never alone.
YOU were with me
To my end and ever after. Beloved Lord Jesus I thank you. I love YOU.
My LORD GOD. Amen
