THY LOVING HAND

I didn't know why I wrote this with "thy" and words that end in "......eth". I know that at times I like reading various things that are written this way, like the King James Bible. When I read scripture in another style Bible, I sometimes like to read how it is written in King James. It causes words to really pop out and I get a deeper understanding. When I wrote it I remember asking why DID I write it this way? I didn't understand why I even wrote it. I thought it seemed to be from a sadness in my heart, but I wasn't feeling sad. So I wrote it and put it down.


This is what I liked about it, a few days after I had written it, I learned that someone I love very much was experiencing a hurtful situation. It was for them. Some of the words carried more power here because it was someone else's heart that needed mending, not mine at all.

Place thy loving hand upon my chest

and with thy loving breath

breathe new life in me.

Thou preserveth me

and protect me

for thou art indeed my shield.

Removeth such harm

that has broken my stride.

Thou will mend and mold this vessel

to be an overflowing cup

of thy Fathers love.

How do you walk and be still at the same time?

When you are waiting on God.
