Now That We Are Here
Even though He knew each soul
Before they left the womb
He doesn’t stop them from exploring
Despite mistakes and disappointments
He lets them learn and grow and become
The unique, one of a kind He created
Them to be –
Even though He is more powerful
Than words can possibly reveal,
He still allows us the freedom
To choose, decide, select
Whatever might seem the best to us
Despite the doubts and stress,
He gives us the opportunity
To make each choice, with faith
Even though He could have said
“I told you so” so very many times
He doesn’t try to make us feel less
For those times when our choices
Brought confusion and doubt,
Darkness that shadows even the light
That comes from knowing the love
Brought to life by the hope and faith
The sweet grace that silences
Every fear and wipes away every tear
Even though we make mistakes
And long for that second chance
He never fails to provide a way –
Through the Son, in whose name
We pray
Now that we are here and He’s so near
There is no doubt about the wonderful
Way He made so that we are free
Even when we can’t find the words
To say, “thank You”…
He listens and hears and answers
Despite all our flaws and failures
He is the reason I can know that my life
Has a reason, a meaning, a secret…
Within the soul who He knew even before
I came into this world to learn what it is
To follow the Lord who is purely love!
I so adore Him!
