Seeing the God Who Sees Me

I was lost, afraid, confused, my life in a mess
Tired, cold, hungry, and thirsty in the wilderness
Depressed, angry, all alone, and ready to die
But the Lord saw my affliction and heard my cry.

He gave me a drink from His ever flowing fount
Promised abundant blessings, too many to count
Therefore I will trust Him and obey His decree
For I have seen the living God who watches me.



Inspired by Genesis 16 where God found the fleeing Hagar in the wilderness.
