You are There

You are there each time I go to sleep
And wander into the deep.
You are there to lift me up above the shadows
Bringing me into the beautiful meadows
Where I find delightful scenery.

You are there in times of sorrow
Giving my bones marrow
To stand strong in the midst of adversity
Teaching me life skills at Your University.

No, I do not understand the “How’s” and “Why’s”
But I know You are there, whether in the low
Valleys of life, or on the mountain top! You are
There for You are Jehovah Shammah.
You are present, You are there!
