It's Extremely Close To You That I Want To Be Poem by Gert Strydom

You are the God of my spirit and my soul,
You are close in every day and night,
You make my ways straight and you wait,
it's extremely close to You that I want to be.
You have got the insight to heal COVID,
to you belong all power and authority.
Your existence is disdained by man;
but You know my heart and also my greatest fear,
where You go You do straighten my ways,
You know how much I do love my wife;
You wait on me as sometimes You are ahead;
it's You that daily do watch my words,
there is great righteousness in Your act of will,
You answer with grace and help on all my prayers.
