When I reach for you I feel an overwhelming sense of your mercy and grace
as you carry burdens I cannot bear: So glad you are always there
As a hen gathers her chicks you gather me into your warm embrace
When I am scared you fight my battles: So glad you always care
Throughout my struggles and disappointments, you have been a constant friend
I am weak but you make me strong with an overreaching love that I can’t comprehend
You are a mighty King and a strong redeemer: So glad that you always protect us
in times of trouble, you show up as a strong defender: So glad that you are Justice.
The old passes away and we become new in the light of your presence
you take away our iniquities and press us into your love and forbearance
You the Almighty God who is, who was and always have been: So glad you are there
You released me from darkness into light by your spirit within: So glad that you care
(Ephesians 4:1-2 NIV)
