Surrounded

Many are the sorrows of the wicked,

but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the LORD.

Psalm 32:10

All around me

encircled and trapped

in my circumstances

I have no map

I feel limited

and afraid

Yet You surround me

enfolded and wrapped

in Your protection

though strength is tapped

I feel well guarded

and safe

Sorrow and fear

were what I knew

in a loss

as to what to do

yet I trusted

and was saved

Steadfast love

flew straight from You

to comfort, strengthen

as I grew

to bigger belief

and firm faith

Grace and love

became my bright wall

looking up

I saw that all

that befell me

led lovingly to You
