He was always there when I needed him
When I asked for help he was there
When I asked, "Can someone steady me?"
He did that and much more.
He lifted me off my feet to give me a better view, and when
His arms grew shaky,
And he had to put me down,
He didn't fear to lift me up again~
He went with me to see
What he had never seen
Except by the picture through my lens.
Even though the danger was great and protection small,
We faced the great unknown,
But we walked hand in hand,
As I have always longed~
When danger came,
And peril drew his sword,
We ran away and fought the evil way,
Into the deepest corner of safety we fled,
And our lives were preserved.
The greatest danger now was not the one outside the walls.
The love that bound us close,
Meant to justify the act,
But Jesus Christ's dear words were strong within our hearts.
I had almost stumbled, and tripped the one I loved,
All for the sake of that love,
The love we need to flee from~
But then came the most difficult trials,
The ones that we had to face alone,
The next trial that I had,
And the arms that once had held me,
Were now nowhere to be found.
Lust had tried to snare me,
And pride had tried to kill,
But I withheld those struggles,
Because now the arms that held,
Were the arms of my Savior.
And I prevailed, but only with His kind words in my ear,
And only in His arms could I feel secure~
Now worry tried to trip me,
And panic tried to crush,
These evils almost had a grip,
But my Savior chopped their hands away,
He said, "My beloved is not a thing for you, you thieves and murderers,
she is Mine and in My loving arms no one can snatch her away..." ~
Now I know, Christ is my protection
No matter whose arms lift me off my feet,
The lions that tried to harm me, well, they were kittens in His eyes,
For His commands the creatures, the mountain, and the skies.
A love He gave to me, that day,
One who will last till death due us part,
But now come out of hiding, for I want you to hold me again.
But when you do this time,
I'll still be in my Lover's arms, for He'll never let me go,
And I'll never want to leave.
So lift me up, but never bring me down.~
