Bind Him Up Forever

He spends his time in idleness, trying to find his place in this world, and looking for his way, though unaware he fails each time and falls deeper in despair. He doesn't know that he'll never find happiness while in such woe, or know what it's like to be,... Really loved! My father, I come to you, lowly bent,... Draw him nigh to thee, make him thine very own, walk before him, beside and after him; follow. Keep him so close, that your heart beats for him. Let Your love flow through him and Your grace bind him up forever. In You, he'll never fear tomorrow and all his sorrows will soon fade away. Everyday will be sunshine, even though it's dark and dreary, Your light will outshine every cloud. His days will never be so good that he is beyond the need of Your grace,and his days so bad that he is beyond the reach of Your grace.! My father, I come to You, lowly bent... Lift him from the miry clay and wash him in Your purified blood, then shall he be a part of your devine will. Make sure the path before him, lay out trials to teach him to trust You, and mountains let him climb that he may know endurance and faith.Through valleys of darkness let him wander that he will know you'll never leave nor forsake him and Your hand leads the way. Let Your love flow through him, and Your grace bind him up forever! (c) March, 25, 2008 Rosemarie Schrock
