Poem: Never Forsaken
The winds may carry the world away.
The crowds may forget my name.
But you hold my place in your hands.
You wrap my soul in faithful arms.
You build forever into broken hearts.
The rivers may wash old dreams downstream.
The stars may fall without warning.
But your name stays bright over my way.
You call me yours with everlasting breath.
You speak mercy over my restless mind.
When all seems cracked and lost,
When loneliness bites at empty doors,
You whisper, “I have not forgotten.”
You shout, “You are still mine.”
You wrap your promises in light.
The night will try to scatter me.
The days will test the frame of hope.
But you hold the days inside your will.
You mark the seasons with your joy.
You anchor my steps in your heart.
Today I will trust your keeping hands.
Today I will remember I am yours.
Your faithfulness outlives every storm.
Your voice still calls me by name.
Your pleasure is my forever home.
