(You were there) Holding My Hand

You were there, when i was still in my mother’s womb.
Holding my little hands, as they were just being formed.
Even in the unknown, i felt safe in Your embrace.

You were there, when i took my first breath and cried.
Holding my hand, i know You leaped for joy.
Though the doctors’ hands, You brought me into Your creation.

You were there, when i celebrated my birthday.
Holding my hand, as You too sang me a birthday song.
I have everything, even though i don’t know You then.

You were there, when i took my first fall.
Holding my hand, You comforted me.
Out of the dirt, You pulled me up.

You were there, when my father left.
Holding my hand, You said:”I am Your Father.”
A real Father’s love, You have showed me.

That, i can never forget.

You were there, when i left You, for the colors of the world.
Holding my hand, You were waiting.
The day when i come back, You yearned.

You were there, even when i was away, the grace you poured out to me.
Holding my hand, You gave, to an orphan that i am.
Step by step you have been there, for me to see Your hands of love.

You were there, when i built a home, Your provision overflows.
Holding my hand, You said:” Dont worry.”
How much more for me, with the fields and sparrows You cared.

You were there, when i am lonely, a woman’s hand you led.
Holding my hand, i stood before you, wife i called my own.
A love relationship You gave me, to show how Your love is to me.

You are here, with me as i write.  Holding my hand, as i bathe in Your grace, love, and care…

With thanksgiving and worship that i can only offer, to the One who is always holding my hand there…

Father’s Love Letter…
