As I sit here in awe of you
your word is hidden in my heart
It follows me wherever I go
Nothing has the power like your word
On my nightstand next to my collectibles
your word is the center of attraction
Your word has a resting place in my bathroom
and in my sacred space next to the windowsill
Even in my car as a drive to and from
your word is nestled next to me on the passenger seat
In my office in the midst of chaos
I can reach for your word just inside my desk
On my iPhone and iPad I have the
privilege of carrying your word in the palm of my hand
Your mighty and powerful word is
known and spoken by my children
The awesomeness of your word is buried
in the depths of my friendships and mentors
Your word gives life and has defeated
the evil one and all of his lies
Your word tells me that I am yours and
that if I remain in you I am safe there
Your word casts out all of my fears
and darkness has no home in me
Your word promises me a place in eternity
and that is what sustains me as I live on this earth
