I hope I never take for granted how deeply I'm loved
Covered in kindness
Chastised and taught with the utmost refinement
Intention is always the kindest for real
And even when pain leaves me utterly mindless
my faith shows your kindness
How gentle the nudges that show that You care
I feel and recall when I question its real

I've seen dark times
really dark times
You've been with me in the darkest times
through the darkest of darkest of darkest of times
when people wouldn't talk to me
You walked with me
When I was at my lowest
You lifted me up
Gifted me stuff
Stuffed, I have to say Thank you!
Thank You so Much!
You've Loved me so much!

What wondrous love is this?
You didn't resist
The pain, the blood, the shame
...You stayed.
While other wanderers strayed
When I was on the edge of full apostasy
You recovered me
Guided me
Through shadows and streams of light
Through darkness terrors strife and fight
Your rod and staff
That kept me on the path
Have taken me here at last
