From the deep places below, to the stars in the sky We cannot escape Your Presence though there are many who try You were there when I was formed in the depths of the earth Present in the room from my first breath at birth I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made All my days are known to You and all my thoughts are weighed You know the way I will take–nothing is hidden from You Even the deep darkness cannot hide me from Your view How then would I live if I remembered this all the time? Would my goals change to capture rewards so sublime? I welcome Your tests sent to keep my heart true So, when I wake up in glory–Your likeness I’ll accrue Debbie Furey April 24, 2020 Psalm 17:15 (KJV) – “As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.” 1 John 3:2-3 – “Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3 All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.” Psalm 139
