God and I

More Than Love Itself

The One who holds me in His heart,
He watches over me day and night,
He rests not,
forever providing for my needs,
Attending to my cares,
for He loves me the most.

Never has my heart known love like this,
That selflessly wishes for my wellness,
That gives me hope,
encourages me to be strong,
Challenges me to be a better person,
for my own sake.

He dwells not on my mistakes,
He forgives my transgressions,
He judges me not,
But longs that I return home,
faithful and obedient,
for my own goodness,
not for His.

He speaks less and listens more,
At times I  think He's far,
yet He hears,
Silently and patiently,
to every petition I make,
He does not ignore,
He replies instantly.

He runs to my aid when I call Him by His name,
A name I am unworthy to utter,
yet He answers.
He watches quietly with love,
That speaks in actions,
changing my life,
Creating a new world for me,
so I may forget the one I destroyed.

He walks beside me,
that I may never be lonely,
He moves behind me,
so no evil creeps upon me unexpectedly,
He walks ahead of me,
to show me the way,
He lives within me,
so I will always have a home.

He is working still,
silently pulling strings,
And they wonder how I always get everything done,
But it is not I,
I do nothing, I know nothing,
Yet I am everything,
simply because of Someone,
Who is so much more than love itself.
