WATCHING OVER HIS OWN

Every prayer that we say, every burden and sorrow,
All our cares of today, and concerns of tomorrow,
To our Father - are already known.
For He keeps His eye on His own.

Every breath that we take, every lap of this race,
Every step that we make, every trial we face.
To our Father, who sits on the throne -
Every tear that we've shed, He has known.

The "thorns" in our flesh, and the fears that beset us,
Remind us afresh that He'll never forget us -
Though we fall to our knees, or break stride,
In the midst of our pleas
We're shown His great mercies
That His name
May be glorified.

"My Grace is sufficient" - it says in His Word,
Our God is omniscient, our prayers He has heard.
Our soul is quickened - our spirit is stirred,
And our Father who sits on the throne
Has an answer
For all of His own.

"I'll never leave nor forsake you"
Yes - He's still in control.
And though woes overtake you -
"It is well..." with your soul.

Let the words of this poem remind you,
That the snares of this world cannot bind you.
Pain is real - that can't be denied.
And yes, we feel the thorn in our side.

But, let these words serve to remind you,
Of just who is right there beside you.

Though problems appear all across the board,
There's no need to fear - let us trust in the Lord.
In our Father - who sits on the throne,
Always watching over His own.

So don't be afraid when plans go awry,
And don't be dismayed - He's always nearby -
And HIS plans are so much greater,
Let us trust in the Lord, our creator.

Whatever our lot, or what may come our way,
Remember - He is STILL in control.
And we MUST NOT forget what He taught us to say,
"It is well, it is well..." with our soul.
