Forever In Your Eyes

Fashioned by Your hand, for You I stand, Out of Your nostrils You blew the living breath that made me new Right well my soul knows, marvellous Your work shows Even deep down in the sea, Your right hand will hold me Verily this knowledge is high, to know that You are always nigh Enemies take Your name in vain, it gives me such grievous pain Risen up are they against You, but I hate them, it is true. I am the apple of Your eye, Your thoughts are precious towards I Nowhere can I hide from You, You are before and behind me too Yeah, the darkness cannot hide, for I am Your beloved child O God, You know my heart, let all wicked ways depart Unfathomable Your love for me, You made me wonderfully Reins all possessed by You, my love professed for You Eagerly this I will say, You know my every way Your eyes saw me unformed, Your love has me reformed Every part of my being has never left Your seeing Secretly covered in my mother's womb, I am wholly Yours till I reach the tomb. ---------------------------------------------- 20.7.16 (Psalms 139 inspired me to write this poem) For L Milton Hankins' "Your Personal Favourite" contest
