He's All Around Me

“He’s all around”

you’d say,

To which i’d turndown.

I can’t see you,

You don’t speak to me,

So how do I know you are true?

I’ll just be judged.

I don’t want to change my life.

But really, I just needed a nudge.

I didn’t grow up with the knowledge

So I never thought it could be.

I’m just glad it didn’t take me till college.

The unknowns made me afraid,

But living without you,

I definitely paid.

Pre-teen depression

With no one to go to,

I soon started to question.

We all know the truth deep down,

So once I gave Him my trust and took the leap,

He lessened my frown.

Five years down the road

Our relationship has flourished,

And you have lightened my load.

Without my leap of faith,

The knowledge, and me getting over my fear,

I would not believe or feel this safe.

I wouldn’t be where I am today

If He wasn’t by my side and in my heart.

I grow when I pray,

And by taking a look,

I get closer to His glory

When reading His book.

That jump towards salvation

Has changed my life for the better,

And is now my life's foundation.
