He Will Not Leave Me

 

My path was not always easy,
Yet I was not alone.
At first I didn’t understand,
But understanding’s grown.
 
As Joshua was told to trust,
So, too, have I been told
That He will always walk with me
Though this world’s dark and cold.
 
He will not leave me without hope,
For He is close to me,
And close to Him’s the only place
That my heart longs to be.
 
I may not see Him at my side,
But I know that He’s near,
For I find I can face what comes
With more faith and less fear.
 
I cannot know what lies ahead,
But He who loves me knows,
And He will stay close by my side
Wherever this path goes.
 
Deuteronomy 31:8
“It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”
