Because, dear
God, you are with me,
Because I know that you care. I can endure whatever befalls me, Because I know you are there.
Because I know
that you love me,
I can never be lonely again. Because you do reassure me, I cannot be unsure among men.
I can face any
foe that attacks me,
With weapons, or words, or with deeds. Because you repeatedly strengthen me, And provide me the armor I need.
Because I know
you won't leave me,
Even though I stumble and sin. You forgive, and forgive, and forgive me, Your patience has yet to wear thin.
I can treat
others gently and kindly,
Because you have shown me how. I can now hug my sisters and brothers, And tell them I love them aloud.
I can be in the
cleft of the rock in the storm,
Protected by you, safe and dry. I can feel the sweet peace you have placed in my heart, May I keep it there 'til I die.
Because you are
merciful, righteous, and just,
Teach me to be more like you. Teach me to love unconditionally, Because that is the way that you do.
