You’ve made known to me the path of life, Psalm 16:11
You’re the voice behind saying “this is the way.” Isaiah 30:21
My boundaries fall in pleasant places, Psalm 16:6
And my God is here to stay.
I’m called up from my homeland Genesis 12:1
Into worlds I’ve never seen,
And despite that I’m not sure
Where I am or where I’ve been,
I’m told you’ll fight if I am still Exodus 14:14
Trusting quietly in you. Psalm 46:10
My promised land lies just ahead,
And the first battle’s almost through. Joshua 6:16
I’ve waged a war and you have fought
On my behalf to bring me here.
Your promise stands, your covenant Genesis 17:4
Is still intact despite my fear.
I’m told to be strong and steady, Joshua 1:9
Ne’er discouraged or terrified,
To choose this day whom I will serve Joshua 24:14
And I have chosen to abide
Here in the shelter of your wings. Psalm 17:8
This sparrow has found herself a nest, Psalm 84:3
And set her heart on pilgrimage Psalm 84: 5
And will in your promise rest.
For better is just one day here
Than a thousand anywhere Psalm 84:10
Where I am not called, and so I choose
To make the move and take the dare
To follow without looking back, Genesis 19:26
To flourish like an olive tree Psalm 52:8
In the land I’m sent to dwell,
For ‘tis your hand upholding me. Psalm 37:24
