With You Am Safe

I close my eyes, and I see you near When you smile I see and hear I never want to see you roar Because I know I’d break into pieces. I look at the ground that goes before me Searching for those steps that you made before me Your foot is big and your steps are wide Yet still I run, always following you Your eyes are everywhere, I feel them on me My steps are bouncy, my laughter carefree I know you watch me, and never depart Your hands on mine, are big and strong I feel their warmth when you lift me up And again their strength, though restrained when from you I turn And when I sleep, my nights are peaceful Because I know, even in the wilds you always stand guard . My belly is full, because of you I never lack, because you are my Jireh And when I want, what’s not best for me I trust you to withhold it from me I trust you Lord to always hold on to me And if you let, go I’ll shatter not a bone of my body will be seen.
