Unfailing Love

Unfailing Love

an original poem, by Kim Merritt

Undeserving and unworthy, I come before Your throne.

In my anguish and desperation, I feel so all alone.

Reaching toward the heavens, I lift my frantic cry.

My hopes and dreams and all my plans, all that I held high,

It all seems very distant now,

So before my Lord, I bow.

His voice echoes in my mind, "Beloved, be not afraid.

Draw near to Me, Precious Child, let your worry fade.

I chose you before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in My sight.

Rest in my presence.  The Lord, your God, Himself will fight.

I will never leave you nor forsake you.  Be courageous and be strong!

My unfailing love indwells you, to almighty God, you belong."
