THROUGH YOU

You know me by my name,
You hold me by hand.
Even in the wilderness,
I am not forgotten.
Though tree roots may trip me,
And tree branches my slap me,
You always tend to my wounds.
The journey may be long,
But you are forever my companion.
Like the North Star in the night sky,
You direct my path.
Like the sun in the morning blue,
You shine light on my footsteps.
When mountains are before me,
I try to climb, and strive to conquer.
But no Lord, you said
To speak and make them move.
So I step down from the mountainside
And release my attempts at victory,
Because my victory has already been attained
Through you.
