I Matter

I MATTER 
 
Sometimes I ponder about my importance 
Wondering about my worth to my Lord 
Does God really care about little ole me? 
Then the answer comes as I read His word 
 
Consider the beautiful lilies of the fields  
Consider the birds soaring through the air 
God deems all them worthy of His attention 
How much more for His children does he care 
 
He knew me while still in the womb 
His plan for me already laid out 
He knows every inch of my being 
The hairs on my head, He has count 
 
Through the multitude of prayers He receives everyday 
My humble, silent prayer somehow makes it to His ears 
In my quiet room He sits and listens 
And vanquishes all my worries and fears 
 
He has never forsaken me as others have 
Wrapped around me is always His loving arms 
To keep me safe through the turbulent storms 
To comfort me when others do me harm 
 
When I am mocked for being His child 
He gives me the strength to stand my ground 
As they taunt and laugh with hateful hearts 
I tell them all of the joy I have found 
 
All my needs He supplies and some of my wants 
My blessings are many...some are unbeknownst 
From dangerous unseen perils He steers me away 
And protects me from unknown foes ready to pounce 
 
For me He gave the ultimate sacrifice 
Down to Earth, His only begotten Son He sent 
Freed from sin; I will no longer perish 
How important to Him I must have meant 
 
So next time I’m down and feeling insignificant 
That I have little value. My life is in tatters 
I will remind myself of all He’s done for me 
I will hold my head high and exclaim, “I matter!”
