I Am Awed

The are certain words that express powerful emotions; like astounded, overwhelmed, and amazed, but today I chose to use awed, meaning a feeling of wonderment or reverence.

I Am Awed

 

Every heartbeat,

My hands and feet,

Every breath until death;

They are a blessing from You, O God,

And I am awed!

 

Every finger, every toe

Every joint, knee, and elbow,

My brain and the blood within my vein,

You planned, O God,

And I am awed!

 

You took Adam’s rib and passed it around.

But I wasn’t just a hand-me-down.

You added more for what I’m here for.

With love,

You planned me, drew me, made me,

And listen to every plea.

You had a plan just for me, 

O God!

And I am awed!

 

You formed me with loving kindness,

Always granting forgiveness;

You’ve stayed the course, by my side,

Being my Go-to Guide.

In Your heart-felt presence, O God, 

I am awed!
