My world is warm, dark and void of time
But my first thought is “I am loved”
I feel a heart beating that is not mine
A sense of belonging to someone above
Providing everything I could possibly need
As all my inward and outward parts are defined
Intricately and exquisitely, I become “me”
Longing to know the one in whom I’m confined
The person in whom I have all my trust
But suddenly without warning I feel that something is wrong
My world is shaken and into the cold I am thrust
My last thought is “will I ever know to whom I belong?”
But instantly there is warmth and light
Strong arms gently cradle me
Yet hold me tight
And I wonder “who can this be?”
I feel a heart beating that is not mine
Oh, my Lord and Savior, it is You!
Creator of heaven and earth who made me
Showering me with grace, mercy and love so true
I await the joyous day when I will see my family
For I know that I am loved!
“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
1 Corinthians 15:57 ESV
