FROM UP ABOVE
When looking down from high above
This mountain range I see
The wonder all around me
Was always meant to be.
I’ve doubted and I’ve feared the worst
I know You told me so
I’ve read it in your Book before
I feel I have to go.
You’ve beckoned me to come again
You’ve asked me to believe
You never did give up on me,
You’ve given me reprieve.
When at times I’ve shown my doubt
You held me steadfast and then,
You came into my life that day
And loved me without end.
Your call I did not answer
So many years ago
I only hope You will forgive
Your child who loves you so.
I’m here to serve you now my Lord
I come on bended knee
I’ll go where ever You tell me now
I’ll go without a plea.
Through all the days and nights I came
Not wanting to let go
I needed to be safe again
Not tossing to and fro.
You’ve shown me how to live in You
How to live without refrain,
You taught me to love You too
Even through the rain.
When the day is done and the night time too
I give my love and life to you
And on that final day
I want you all to see,
I lived my life
for a Lord who gave
His very all for me.

You do write so well and I know the Lord guides your writing that's why it's so beautiful - verse, rhyme, and content. I have been like this, running away from "serving".
