Lord, what are human beings that you care for them, mere mortals that you think of them? Psalm 144:3
Father, here I stand: wondering, hoping, waiting. Do you see me here? Is this place where I am dark to You? Am I lost or am I found? I stand at the edge looking down into the deep, dark unknown. Are you trustworthy enough for me? Will you catch me if I fall?
Father, here I lay: grieving, crying, losing. Do you see me here? Will you catch my tears as they fall? The flood threatens to overtake. Are you tender enough for me? Will you be here with me?
Father here I am: angry, livid, reeling. Do you see me here? Will you hold my anger as it comes? Injustice overtakes my soul. Are you safe enough for me? Will you embrace my angry soul?
Father here I cower: fearful, timid, anxious. Do you see me here? Will you cover me under the shadow of your wings? I see no escape. Are you strong enough for me? Will you chase away my fears?
Father, here I sit: ashamed, disappointed, embarrassed. Do you see me here? Will you forgive all my wrongs? My sorrow feels like an ache. Are you merciful enough for me? Will you heal my wayward heart?
Father, here I am: rejoicing, celebrating, enjoying. Do you see me here? I want to enjoy this place with You. Are you joyful enough for me? Will you celebrate with me?
Father, do you see me here?
Child, here I stand: wondering, hoping, waiting. Do you see Me here? Even this darkness is not dark to Me. You are found. You can trust Me. I know where you are every moment of your life and I will make your steps sure. (Psalm 139:12; Matthew 18:12; Psalm 37:23)
Child, here I am: grieving, knowing, loving. Do you see Me here? I care about each tear that falls. The waters will not overtake you. I am tenderhearted towards you. I am with you. (Psalm 56:8; Isaiah 43:2; Lamentations 3:22-23; Isaiah 41:10)
Child, here I am: righteous, full of justice, understanding. Do you see Me here? I am strong enough to hold your anger. I hold you safely in My arms. I see things as they are. I am here. I will hold you in your reeling.
Child, here I stand: confident, powerful, sure. Do you see Me here? I hide you under the shadow of my wings. I know every step you take. I am strong enough for you and My love will cast out your fear. (Psalm 91:4; Proverbs 16:9; Ephesians 6:10; I John 4:18)
Child, here I stand: forgiving, understanding, healing. Do you see Me here? There is not a wrong I will not forgive. My Blood will heal your aching heart. My mercy is new every morning. I will hold Your wayward heart. (I John 1:9; I Peter 2:24; Lamentations 3:22-23; Jeremiah 3:22)
Child, here I am: rejoicing, celebrating, enjoying. Do you see Me here? I celebrate with you. I am a joyful God. I enjoy you and I enjoy this place with you. (Zephaniah 3:17; Romans 12:15)
