Hope #10- To be closer to my Comfort, Healer..my Redeemer

Thank you Nichole Nordeman.

Pencil marks on the wall
I wasn't always this tall,
You scattered some monsters from beneath my bed,
You watched my team win,
You watched my team lose,
You watched when my bicycle went down again,

And when I was weak, unable to speak,
still I could call You by name
and I said, "Elbow healer, Superhero,
come if you can," and you said, "I am"

Only 16, life is so mean, what kind of curfew is at 10 PM
You saw my mistakes, You watched my heart break
Heard when I swore I'd never love again

When I was weak, unable to speak,
still I could call You by name
and I said, "Heart-ache Healer, Secret-Keeper,
be my Best Friend," and You said, "I am."

You saw me wear white, by pale candlelight,
I said forever to what lies ahead
two kids and a dream, with kids that can scream
too much it might seem with its two AM

When I'm weak, unable to speak
still I will call You by name
"Oh Shepherd, Savior, Pasture-Maker,
hold on to my hand," and you say, "I am"

The winds of change,
and circumstance blow in and all around
us so we find a foothold that's familiar,
and bless the moments that we feel nearer
Life has begun, I was woven and spun,
You let the angels dance around the throne, who can say when
But they'll dance again, when I am free and finally headed home.

I will be weak, unable to speak,
Still I will call You by name
"Creator, Maker, Life-sustainer,
Comfortor, Healer, My Redeemer,
Lord and King,
Beginning and the end,
"I am, yes, I am."
