All my life.

 All My Life

All my life, You have been faithful.

Through the chapters I have named and known,

And the pages where Your hand was writing all alone.

All my life.

From my first breath—a gift I did not earn—

To every pathway where my will from Yours did turn,

Your faithfulness has been the ground beneath my feet,

The melody of grace,unwavering and sweet.

Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life. (Psalm 23:6)

In seasons of abundance, You were my increase.

In deserts of my soul,You were my peace.

When I was faithless,chasing my own way,

Your promises stood firm.You did not stray.

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23)

You were the constant in my every change,

The certain hope that nothing could estrange.

The dawn that broke through every longest night,

The truest friend who always fought my fight.

So let my remaining days, however few or long,

Be one continuing,surrendered song.

A testament to what I know is true:

All my life,my God, I have been held by You.

Amen.
