One of the books God has written
God has penned the page that told of my first breath
and has written paragraph depicting my death.
Then by grace the myriads of paragraphs between
All the pages which tell of my life on this earthly scene
I was intricately woven upon Your heavenly loom
as You carefully knit me together in my mothers womb.
In that most secret of places when my conception took place
preparing me for my birth and entry into the human race.
Before the first moment of my earthly existence began
You had written in Your book my inmost being and life plan.
Each syllable penned with words in calligraphy composed
Then as the sentences were handwritten the paragraphs flowed.
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 You 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 the sentences emerged.
Chapters made out of many paragraphs were arranged with care
each carefully written by You in the book of my life there.
For my life is now that book to be read by everyone
because it speaks of Your Grace and the wonders Jesus has done.
For in Your mercy before the world was made and time began
You had included me in Your wonderful salvation plan.
