Before I was born, You called me.
You envisioned what I will be.
You had a design fashioned for me.
You breathe life into me,
before I ever came to be.

I am clay in Your hand.
You, the Potter, molded me
to become a reflection of Your image.
You dreamed of me from the beginning of time,
among the living things of Your creation.

I am a fruit in Your orchard,
I blossom from a seed into a flower,
growing ripe until the harvest comes.
You are the Gardener tending me with care
sheltering me from the ravages of wind and storm.

I am humbled to be Your handiwork,
that You should pluck me into Your palm,
to discipline me in Your love,
to delight in me as Your child,
insignificant creature that I am.

Lord, I am not worthy to receive You,
but You will not leave me be alone.
You will hound me until I rest in You,
snuggle in the warmth of Your arms,
as You whisper, “Child, hold on to Me”.
