| To know that you, my awesome God perceived me long ago. And when you said the time was right I'd be conceived and grow. To know that you have numbered every breath I'd ever breathe. And that you had great plans for me before I was conceived. To know that you've protected me through all life's trials and storms, And though so undeserving have kept me safe from harm. To know that you've walked close to me Even though I've walked away And still you tenderly called me back before it was too late. To know these things is humbling, and shames me to the soul. Though mercy reaches out to me Still, I need to know... How is it that you love me Even though you know my worth? And still you chose to give me life preventing not my birth? |
