Where Would I Be

I just had a birthday which gave me pause to think about where I would be if God had not thought about me, created me, led me, saved me, and guided me though the years. 

Where

 

Where would I be 

If 

Not in God’s thoughts?

I’d be distraught;

I’d be unborn, uncreated-That is where.

Instead, He molded a hunk of clay to make me an heir.

Where would I be 

If 

Not in God’s plan?

I’d be an empty man;

Wandering and lost-That is where.

So, I offer up a heartfelt prayer.

Where? Oh, where would I be

If 

Jesus had not come to set me free?

If 

God did not think about me day and night? 

I’d be lost in the darkness of my plight.

I’d be fearful I was not within His sight.

Where would I be

If 

God is not always near;

Beside me, the way to steer?

Where would I be

If

God was too busy; Too preoccupied 

To walk by my side?

Where? Oh, where would I be

If 

God turned away? 

If 

God didn’t stay?

If 

He let me go astray?

If 

I failed to pray? 

Where would I be?
