This Day

On that misty morning 
With Your presence hovering over me 
I didn’t notice You 
And it took 20 years for me to see and know
To see that Your hands have always held me 
To know the love that is 
beyond what I will ever understand 
You taught me to fear You 
Before I knew You
You taught me to trust You
Before I understood You

Is there anything I know 
That you haven’t taught me? 
Your love have secured and steadied me 
And some days 
there is this beautiful drowning 
Drowning in your perfect love
Drowning in the chasm of Your goodness 

Your faithfulness Papa
O Your faithfulness is extravagant 
You have fiercely drawn me near
You have freely opened up Your heart to me
To me? 
Me, Lord?
A woman with a wandering heart, 
A frail heart
And you have always poured strength into her

Now and forever
Truth has a hold of me 
It leads the way for me 
It shows me the path of life
God, truly, I am Yours forever?

This day
And forever 
I am in a love story with heaven 
I am in a love story with a Savior 
I am in a love story with a perfect husband 
This day
I bring praises to You
I bring my ashes 
As you vowed to give me beauty in exchange

You anoint me with the oil of gladness
You clothe me with purity
And righteousness
You dance over me 
You delight to show me the mighty 
Works of your hands 
And your arms Papa
Your arms are always wide open

This day
I collapse in Your arms 
I lean harder into all of You
I rest in the shadow of Your wings
As I continue this journey 
Of one day kissing your feet,
I am content with You and me. 

Lord, I desire to be desperately in love with You.
