Right from the Start

From the beginning

You chose me

And you knew my name

You put the stars in space

And the planets in their orbit

Yet you know me by name

You made the sea

And you made the land

And you know who I am

Although you were busy

Putting the world together

I was still on your mind

What a feeling it is

To know that in everything you do

You are always thinking of me

That no matter what I do

You will always love me

As you did right from the start

You Know Me

You are loving

You are compassionate

You are in control

You are sovereign

You gave me life

You have a plan for me

You knew me before I was born

You know my tastes

You know my personality

You know my strengths

You know my weaknesses

You have given me a purpose

You never forget me

You always know where I am

You have your hand on my life

Welcome Home

I come to you as a broken child

Scared and ashamed

But you opened your arms

And wrapped them around me

You took my face into your hands

Looked me straight in the eyes

And said “welcome home”

You are now safe in my love

You took my brokenness

And all my flaws

And with your love and grace

You pieced me back together

All my thanks is to you

For saving me from myself

For taking me as you found me

And making me brand new
