My Lord Is My Haven Poem by Suu Casey Young

During my life Lord
you have always been there,
so powerful your words,
they beat back my despair.
You were the heart beat
to which my life has marched,
a much needed quenching drink
when sorrow left me parched.
You were the rock I chose
if I needed to rest for a while,
with every hurdle life put up,
you were an every present stile.

You were there beside me Lord,
I saw you every day
as I looked all around me,
at your miracles on display.
And on the sea of life
I sailed through each storm,
as from waves of trepidation
a calming lake you would form.
You were the light Lord
that kept the darkness at bay,
if I needed a safe harbour
all I had to do was pray.

My body has grown weary Lord,
Disease takes the wind from my sail,
but with you as my rudder,
on this last journey I won’t fail.
For I know where I’m going,
a lighthouse of love I see ahead.
I know it is a safe harbor
to which I’m being led.
And there I’ll lower my anchor
to leave the sea of life behind,
for in this safest of havens,
perfect peace I will find.
