You are indeed a mystery, Lord.
You are so much I don’t know,
so much that astounds my mind,
so much that awes my heart.
But this much I do know:
To know you is to know pure love,
the kind no one can thrive,
much less survive, without.
To know you is to pasture in your presence
and experience your abundant life within,
knowing that you aren’t just with me,
you are one with me, even and especially
when my life is full of fears,
and the moment fraught with tears.
To know you is to know
that no matter what this day brings,
I’m being loved by a love that watches
over all my comings and goings--
even when I don’t know
whether I’m coming or going.
How can I help but
love you back?
“The Lord is my shepherd. . . .” (Psalm 23)
