As I WalkA Poem by Im His DaughterAs I walk down the dusty grid road Sunshine beaming down No cares in the world Feeling life could not get any better Clouds appearing in the aqua sky Clouding over, breeze is strong & warm I stop look up & feel your warmth shining down It's getting cooler all of a sudden Must be something brewing in the atmosphere Clouds darken & roll in Sun has no choice now but to hide The darkness is overtaking it I look back to see how far I have come If I should turn back & seek shelter somewhere I notice there are no trees or buildings around A storm is brewing & getting quite chilly now I notice the road I am on is no longer flat I am looking up at it from where I came from I have found myself in a valley covered by a shadow A shadow of dark clouds & rain drops It sure has become darker & the wind is very cold right now As the rain falls, I trudge blind through the pouring rain I am cold, tired & can't seem to find any shelter at all What am I going to do? How did I get here? Why is there no shelter around? How come there is no one walking towards me? Why is there no break in the clouds? How long is this going to continue? The wind is biting me, it is absolutely bone chilling the hail has started & the floods have come I see a spindly little tree off in the field beside me. I decided to take whatever shelter it can offer me I am so cold, so desperate to find a way out Someone help me Lord where are you? Why am I in this place? I am so lost right now I can't see anything I don't think I am going to make it out of the storm I can't go on anymore I am so alone I don't think I am going to see the light of day I should just give up I am cold, wet & hungry Darkness is so thick I can't see anything I am so hopeless right now I feel it overtaking me My confidence is gone The rain is letting up now The darkness is retreating I see a glimmer of hope I am drawing on it I am not letting it out of my sight It gives me a sense of warmth I can feel it I want to rest in the God of light I can see the light coming I look behind me & see the valley is lower than me I am climbing a hill coming out of the valley of death There is no other word for it You God love me You have saved me Restored my soul Warming my heart Always caring for me I am no longer helpless I have found hope Deliverer, redeemer, saviour You have rescued me Taken me by the hand I thought I was so alone I see 2 sets of footprints in the dirt behind me You walked with me through the valley I am so thankful I thought you left me Thank You Jesus I praise you Jesus I honor you Jesus I worship you Jesus There is no other name by which I am saved Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Thank You There is no other name by which I am saved As I walked through the valley of the shadow of death I feared it I ask for your forgiveness I am sorry for doubting you I now know you were on my side & with me as I overcame this storm I am truly grateful Thank You for your peace I fear you Lord, I fear you Not the storms of my life Thank you for helping me Guiding me Loving me Saving me
Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. © 2016 Im His Daughter |
