Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
Psalm 23
I have walked through some very dark places
I have seen and done things unimaginable
I have struggled and fought
I have done it my way
I have lost
Addiction, eating disorders, self injury
Anything to make the pain go away
It didn't work
It failed to fill that gap
Only one could fill that gap
Only one fit in the hole my heart felt
His name?
Jesus
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Jesus is there
Holding out his arms
For me
He fills the gap, fits in the hole
I am made whole again
Through his love
Through his sacrifice
Through hid grace
Through his mercy
He never leaves me
He never forsakes me
I am his
He is mine
He guides me through this life
Protecting and leading the way
He is my all in all
My God
My first true love
Every thing I need
Every thing I want
My Everything
