You Saw...You Knew Poem by Ginny Alloway Baker

Oh Lord, before I was formed
You knew me.
Before I came forth
You knew when I would sit…
where I would stand.
You set Your hand upon me…
such knowledge is too hard to realize.
You knew when I would fall..
and to my surprise…
when I would answer Your call.
You already knew the sum of my days
how I would fulfill and walk Your ways.
You saw the successes
and failures.
You anticipated my enemies
and gave me what I needed
to defeat them.
No darkness can overtake You…
darkness and light are alike…
the same to You.
My days were written in Your book
before there were any…
You kept me hidden in Your nook
from them who would harm
though there were many.
I do not want to leave
Your presence
I’ve no desire
to be on my own…
Your Spirit is
my effervescence…
flowing freely
from Your throne.
