I breathed into your nostrils the breath of life
I engraved you on the palms of my hands
I numbered the hairs of your head
your DNA is unique, your
fingerprints and voice print too
I have upheld you since you were conceived
carried you since birth
before I formed you in the womb I knew you
I knit you together
I gave you eyes to see the beauty of creation
ears to hear birdsong and music
a brain to store wonderful memories
choose to follow me
I’ll put my Holy Spirit inside of you
I’ll go before you and make the rough places smooth
I’ll be your rear guard
my eyes will search throughout the earth to strengthen you
I’ll hold your right hand
my angel will encamp around you
I won’t slumber or sleep, grow weary or tired
you can trust me
I know your deepest thoughts
I’ll always listen to you
I have plans to prosper you, not to harm you
I’ll lift you up, encourage you to hope
I’ll give you a firm place to stand
the earth can never be moved
the sun and moon will exist as long as the earth endures
night and day will always come at their appointed times
I’ll send rain to water the earth
and put a rainbow in the clouds
I’ll provide you with food, clothing and shelter
I’ll keep my promises
don’t be afraid, don’t fear
don’t worry, don’t be anxious
don’t doubt
even to your old age and gray hair
I’ll take care of you
I’ll pray for you
I’ll lead you with cords of human kindness
I will always tell you the truth
I am your rock, your strong tower, your mighty fortress
I’ll move mountains, fight battles, rout your enemies
I’ll walk through fire for you
I’ll fight a giant, a den of lions, the devil
I’ll light your path all the way to heaven
I’ll be your shepherd
If you get lost I’ll search for you
I’ll carry you close to my heart
I’ll never leave you or forsake you
I am with you always
to the very end of the age
I’ll forgive your sins
I’ll set you free
I’ll do for you what you can’t do for yourself
I’ll buy you back with my blood
I’ll prepare a place for you
like no eye has seen, no ear has heard
no mind has conceived
your death will be precious in my sight
I’ll come back and take you to be with me
I’ll wipe every tear from your eyes
I’ll sing you a song, I’ll give you my peace
I’ll make you victorious, I’ll rejoice with you
I want you to live with me forever
share my life
I love you with an everlasting love
I give you my Word
