Reason A. Poteet Poet Free verse

Wonderful Counselor

 free verse 

I call Him, Wonderful Counselor.
As I face the unknown, I know He's
out in front of me leading the way,
building my faith as we travel on -
my faithful Steward for ev'ry day.

He is my Wonderful Counselor.
My life is secure in His keeping.
...He won’t go to sleep on me.
...He’ll never leave me alone.
...He’ll never get too busy
to hear my cries in the dark.
...The sun cannot get so bright;
...nor the moon’s shadows so dim
that He’d lose sight of me on the road
He's my Shelter wherever I go.

I call Him, Wonderful Counselor.
He sends me on uncertain routes;
He teaches me trust on each journey.
He preserves my soul, even in death,
He is my Shepherd guiding me home.

inspired by Psalm 121
