Quickly Going Nowhere

I unknowingly ran from Gods call, For so many years, I thought I knew it all, Too young and cocky to know any fears, I praise God though because he was there, And that he saw me through, I was a nobody quickly going no-where, When one day,I heard God say in a loud voice" child you belong to me,I bought and paid for you, He said it was his son Jesus who paid the cost, And, in him I could rise up and be all I can be, He waited patiently for me to find my way and no longer be lost, He died so I'd no longer be in bondage "I was finally set free", He knew me before I was a twinkle in my Daddy's eye, Before I was placed in my Mothers womb where for nine months I would reside, He knew each tear before they they even fell he knew every time I would cry, He saw everything I ever did even the things I tried to hide, He felt my hurt and all of my pain, He felt my despair and my sorrow, In him I have eternal life to gain, But, I'm not promised tomorrow, So,I choose to be in him today, Then when he comes back I wao't be left here, He is " The life, the truth, and the way, He is always with me, so," whom then shall I fear, ?
