Today... 'God My Maker' Poem by Roy Allen

I was intricately woven upon His heavenly loom
As He carefully knit me together in my mothers womb
In that most secret of places where my conception took place
Ready at the time of my birth to enter the human race

Before the first moment of my earthly existence began
God had written in His book my inmost being and life plan
Each syllable penned and words in calligraphy composed
There sentences were handwritten and the paragraphs disclosed,

From the first chapter of my birth to the last one of my death
Each had been thoughtfully written before I'd taken a breath
I praise God that I am fearfully and wonderfully made
The handiwork of My Great Creator is in me displayed

Living letters turned into syllables and then became words.
These words began to form phrases and then sentences emerged.
Chapters made out of many paragraphs were arranged with care
each carefully written by the in the book of my life there.

Now my life is like a book to be read by everyone
because it speaks of God's Grace and the wonders Jesus has done.
For in His mercy before the world was made and time began
He had included Roy Allen in His great Salvation plan.
