Not Alone

Not Alone

by Patricia A Pitterle

Buried in water,

Covered in Grace,

Lifted in Glory,

Heart filled with Faith.

He sees my weeping,

He knows my grief,

He gives me mercy,

He grants relief.

Out of the darkness,

Sensing His presence,

Feeling His love, 

Filled with forgiveness.

Home to His keeping,

Away from my cares,

Surrounded by His arms,

My burdens He bears.

He is my Savior,

Redeemer and King,

He sacrificed His life

Salvation He brings.

What does He ask of us?

What does He need?

He asks that we serve Him

by feeding His sheep.

And so, I share His words,

His strength and His teachings,

His Love and His service,

His arms that are reaching.

Reaching out in our stumbling,

Catching us when we fall,

He walks softly beside us,

We're not alone after all.
