King of Kings

Our Father “Abba” 
rules on high

grace in His left Hand
judgment in his right

revealed to flesh
in Jesus Christ

I knew you
before I formed you

I touched your broken body
I breathed your first breath

and I know all your dreams

I saw life through your eyes

I felt your hurt
I felt your pain

I knitted you in your 
mother’s womb

I predestined you 
to become Mine

no one could snatch you 
out of my nail scarred hands

even with demons 
in your mailbox
and satan’s hook 
on your very soul

you are now bleached

like the driven snow
