Always, He Has Cared for Me

The Eternal One is my Shepherd,
He cares for me always...

Always, He has cared for me.

Before the foundations of the world
As He thought me into being
As He held me in His heart and delighted in my specialness,

Always, He has cared for me.

As He planted me on earth
Carefully providing, and determining my going and coming...
Loving me unceasingly,
Protecting, opening and closing doors, providing treasures for me to discover,

Always, He has cared for me.

Pursing me with His faithfulness,
Leading me to Himself,
Into the arms of His Son, and joining me to Him...

Always, He has cared for me.

As He taught me about His kingdom
Allowing me to discover who I was...His daughter,
And who He is...my Father...
Graciously giving me His Spirit
For a constant companion, a constant help, a constant source of wisdom and strength,

Always, He has cared for me.

Providing me rest in green pastures,
Restoration in streams of cool waters,
Soothing my fears,
Renewing... transforming...
Continuing to steer me off the hard, worn path of worry, fear, unbelief, and strife,
To a road where truth and righteousness echo His name,

Always, He has cared for me.

Even in the darkness of the storm
He brings my heart to rest,
Reminding me of His presence, His help

Always, He has cared for me.

Laviously spreading a table before me
Of provision and protection
Even when those unwelcome inhabitants invade...
He provides and rescues...
Filling my cup again and again with His grace,

Always, He has cared for me.

Always, He will care for me
Whereever I go...wherever I am...

The Eternal One is a good, good Sheperd!!!
