Notes About The Poem

My God, my Creator, my Lord, what a truly Awesome God He
truly is.  There is nothing can come near or touch me without
His knowledge.  He does not keep every problem away 
however, but, if I do have to go through trials and testing
as we do at times, He is right in the fire with me, He is
LOVE!

In His Tender Care

In His Tender Care

In gentleness and tenderness my
Lord draws me to His breast, 
and after I partake of His loving nourishment
He carefully lays me down to rest.

For He cares for me as a watchful Father
and under His vigilant eye I know that I am so safe, 
and definitely nothing can harm or come near me
without His knowledge as by it, it will not escape.

For years now, I have known His love
and just like a child He calls me to come and sit upon His knee, 
where I am so safe and protected by Him
while He keeps the enemy of my soul so far away from me.
