YOU WERE THERE

Written by Stephanie Klepacki, 2019, copyright.

You formed me in my mother’s womb.
Fearfully and wonderfully made.
Like no other creation, each one unique,
reflecting Your never-ending love.

Your eyes looked upon me
Before I was born.
Purposely made,
Each one of us.
A plan You had laid
Before I took a breath.

You breathed life into me
And I give You praise.
You know my deepest thoughts.
You know that I am weak,
That I’m a sinner
In need of a Savior.

From the beginning,
You were there,
Right beside me,
Though I could not see.
My eyes were open
But blinded by the world.
Too comfortable in my sin
To see that I was broken.

Till one day
My world was shattered,
On my knees, 
Crying out to You.
You said, “Child of Mine, turn to Me,
Don’t wait till it’s too late.”

Dying to myself
And letting go of pride 
I turned to You
And now I see
You were always there,
Right beside me.
