Poetry

---

Before He formed you in the womb,
He blessed you before you were born;
Laid out plans through life till the tomb,
While on earth that you sojourn.

I do not know just how to speak,
For I am only in my youth;
I have not learned how I should seek,
In finding out just what is truth.

But I should not say as a youth,
For to all to whom He has sent;
What He commands be not uncouth,
Rather to know of the intent.

Do not be afraid about them,
Because the Lord will deliver;
He assures that He will condemn,
Since they follow the deceiver.

The Lord touched my mouth with His hand,
Into my mouth He put His Word;
Everything that He would demand,
So my ears able to have heard.

He set this day over nations,
To pluck up while breaking down;
For becoming new creations,
In building and plant a new town.
