Three Places Poem by Randy McClave

In front of us He stands
He picks us up with his mighty hands,
He leads us where we are heading
With his love always shedding.
He leads us away from every rock and every snare,
Remember, he is already there.

Behind us he always has our back
Faith we must not ever lack,
We must constantly move forward
With him and his strength and his word.
He is always there and never gone,
He is there to push us on.

He is there standing at our side
From no one does he ever hide,
He is there always next to me and you
We're his child that he always knew.
He walks with us when we're scared or moan,
So, that we're never walking alone.

No matter how absent that we are
From us he is never far,
He is always there in time as well
His love and strength will always prevail.
In life with love in our souls he graces,
For us, he's always in three places.
