Always Behind

The strong winds that blow
cleanse the earth like 
the way that You cleanse my soul.
There is never a doubt that
You are beside me at 
my weakest moments,
watching over my misguided steps.
I cannot be strong without You...
I can only show human arrogance - 
a false sense of pride.
Remain close and catch me
when I fall,
for only You have loving arms
to soften the blow.
Know that I will continue 
to walk behind You - always behind,
following You to the ends
of the earth and beyond.
I stand as a servant,
humbled that You love someone like me.
