My Lord,You are everything in the world to me.

Here is a poem to God, woven with the truth of Scripture, expressing that He is everything.

My Everything

Before the dawn first learned to break, Before my soul its form did take, You were the Word upon the deep, A promise You were sworn to keep. “In the beginning, God…”the start, The rhythm of this breathing heart.

You are the Sun, my morning light, That scatters shadows of the night. You are the Bread,the living Word, The sweetest song my soul has heard. “I am the light of the world,” You said, And raised this weary,sleeping head.

You are the Vine, and I the branch, In every hour,in every chance. My source of life,my strength, my root, The everlasting,solid Truth. “Apart from me, you can do nothing,” You are the hope in all my striving.

You are the Shepherd, I’m Your own, I’ve never walked this path alone. Your rod and staff,they comfort me, And guide me to eternity. “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want,” In verdant fields,by streams, I’m planted.

You are the Rock on which I stand, Firm in the storm,on shifting sand. You are the Fortress,strong and high, A refuge where my fears can die. “The Lord is my rock, my fortress…” In You alone,my soul finds rest.

You are the Alpha and Omega, The start and finish of my saga. The Author of my faith’s sweet story, My present hope and future glory. “For from him and through him and to him are all things,” You are my King,the King of kings.

So be the All in all of me, As near as breath,as vast as sea. My beginning and my end, My dearest Father,truest Friend. For“in him we live and move and have our being,” You are my everything,my seeing.
