When I fall I know You're there,
When I am happy You are the source,
When I feel abandoned I know You care,
And I know You have plotted the best course.
I know my days here are short
Compared to the hours I will spend with You,
So while I'm here I will try not to disconcert
The trials You have given me to sort through.
You are my strength and my hope,
My solid Rock upon which I stand,
I know these things will fade and so I cope;
Knowing that I will spend my time in Your Promised Land.
You are my Redeeming King,
In Whom I am filled with reverence,
Your joy is stronger than even these words I sing,
And so I come to You in glad repentance;
That You may Bless me as my Father,
And take me home wrapped gently in Your arms;
Whilst' You bring me in Your Presence, still farther
I see the World as Your Farms.
So until the day You choose to come,
I will tarry here amongst you Flock,
Hoping to bring your Kingdom Come,
And seize this world in a joyous shock.
Until that day I need you to know,
I Love You And Need You, My Very Own!
