Oh, the immense, intimate, personal love of God!
God, You see to the very depths of my soul
You know me fully, completely
You are aware of every time I move
When I sit down, when I get up
You perceive every single one of my thoughts
You see when I head out to live my day
And when I come home at the end of the day
You see me lie down to sleep
You are familiar with everything I do at any given moment
And my words? You know every single one
Before it even leaves my lips
You are on all around me
Your presence on every side
Your own hand on my life
I can’t even fathom all that this means
Simply amazing
Is there anywhere I can go
That you won’t be there, too?
A place where You can’t find me?
If I am at the greatest height of joy
You are right there
But You are just as present
When I am in my deepest despair
If I feel strong enough to fly
Or incredibly weak and incompetent
Even then Your loving hands are holding me
And guiding me on the next part of the journey
I used to think that my darkest days
Made me invisible to You
Making it impossible for You to find me
But I have found that there is no darkness with You
Your light illuminates even the blackest night
Why do you love me so much?
How do you know me so well?
Because you created me from the inside out
You put every part together, safe in my mother’s womb
I am amazed at your attention to detail
In bringing together my body, heart and soul
There was nothing about my forming that slipped past You
As you shaped and molded me
From the time of my conception
And every day of my life from then on
Has had a plan and a purpose
Created and penned by You
Your glorious thoughts are so precious to me, God!
You have shared many with me,
But I will never be able to know or understand them all
There is no beginning and no end
They are so huge and so many
Incomprehensible
Like trying to count the grains of sand on a beach
And yet
Every morning I wake
And there you are again
Ready to share my new day
Oh, the immense, intimate, personal love of God!
