“ ‘STEPPING OUT’ INTO THE DARK!”
© 1999 Patricia L. Carpenter
{Poem Book 3}
“If I have ‘called’ you
to ‘step out’ into the dark,
Please be ‘sure’ & know
I will anchor your ‘ark’!
Your ‘ark of safety’ as you travel
‘ONE STEP’ at a time,
Holding you ‘securely’
in My ‘Secret Place’ sublime. *
Step out & step up ‘firmly’
secure in ‘knowing’ I AM there,
Because I have ‘asked’ you
so ~ be not ~ unaware.
Unaware of My ‘Protection’
even while you’re alone,
For strong feelings of ‘helplessness’
will be your ‘SONGS’ beside My Throne. *
Think of My ‘Disciples’
& My ‘Prophets’ all of old,
Many lived in hidden places
but were ‘secure’ as their story was told. *
Willing to ‘die’ for Me & others *
to Spread the Gospel to the World, *
‘Night Songs’ ringing from their lips *
as My ‘Story’ they did unfold.
My Story of how I ‘LOVE’ them *
& My ‘Mercy’ & My ‘Care’, *
And all about how I’ll ‘KEEP’ them *
& My ‘Comfort’ ~ with them ~ will share. *
It matters not what’s up ahead *
or what you will go ‘through’, *
Just remember ‘I AM’ here *
& will ALWAYS be with you!” *
