"God is with you
In everything you do"* --
Words so very true,
Meant for me and you;
On a bookmark they are,
A friend sent from afar.
Whether night or day,
At home or when away,
Feeling up and cheery,
Or glum and weary,
A powerful thought this --
That our loving Father is
Never apart from us.
Is this not glorious? --
That His care does surround;
His loving arms are around
All those we love,
Beside them always, above --
And not only ones we greet,
But those we may never meet.
What would mankind do
If this were not true?
Oh, but it is the case,
Something one cannot erase.
God with us -- what a treasure,
Its comfort beyond all measure.
*Genesis:21:22
