You Were

You have been the fulfiller of promises and dreams.

You met me wherever I was and in all circumstance and all needs.

When we asked, You met, You came, You fulfilled, You did

all far above and exceedingly more than what we asked!

You have changed us. You have not left us unchanged or untouched.

You did miracles that we could see. You did miracles we could be.

You proved Yourself when you didn't have to.

You have been all we ever needed. You have been faithful.

We asked and you did. We called, You listened.

We needed, You met. We invited, You came.

We failed, You came through. We emptied, You filled.

We poured out, You poured more in.

Yet even when we didn't, You still were and did.

We wanted to fall apart, You held us together.

We wanted to give up, but You ran along side cheering us on.

We wanted to give in, but You stood strong beside us.

When we didn't want to, You were the perseverance for us.

When we were weak, You were the self control on our lips and patients in our hearts.

When we did wrong, You convicted and gave us grace.

When we were fearful, You were our peace.

When we overwhelmed, You were the rock that was higher than us.

When we were drowning, You held out Your hand.

When we were broken, You mended.

When we filled with pain, You healed.

And when we could not go any further, You carried us.
