I wrote this poem several years ago. It is still so applicable to us each day …
a call, a remembrance, a celebration, an affirmation of God’s Spirit and love for us.
May it bring us peace and hope.
Surround us, oh Lord
Guardian protector Father
Wrap us in Your holiness
Surround us, oh Lord
Strong sure eternal
Surround us, oh Lord
Refresh renew restore
Nourished by Your Spirit
Surround us, oh Lord
To grow in wisdom and stature
Surround us, oh Lord
Great One mighty and present
Strong and sure deliverer
Surround us, oh Lord
That we too may stand
Surround us, oh Lord
Wrapped in Your breath
Sustained and filled
Surround us, oh Lord
Satisfier of our souls
Surround us, oh Lord
Our firm foundation
Shield and defender
Surround us, oh Lord
With the cloud of Your being
Surround us, oh Lord
Your comforting presence
Banish our fear
Surround us, oh Lord
Abba Father and King

Thanks to God, who surrounds us each day
“May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you.”

Charlotte-Anne, This poem is beautiful! So appropriate for the times we are living in. We are lifting you and your family up in prayer in the loss of your nephew. So sorry to hear about this. May God hold you in His safe, and loving arms and know that you are loved!!!
