Closer To Me

Every single day…

Every single moment of every single day of every single year…

Every single dark place, every single fallen tear…

Every single cry in the night…

Every single moment unexposed to Your light…

Every single bad second turned worse…

Every single rage-filled yell, every single curse….

Every single understood misunderstanding…

Every single failed attempt at planning…

Every single breath held captive by fear…

Every single place I questioned if Your presence was near…

Every single step I took without ever knowing You…

Every single lie I believed never truly knowing Truth…

Every single habit of death picked up out of despair…

Every single hopeless thought filled with confusing air…

Every single pit that swallowed up my will to fight…

Every single single day and every lonely night…

Every single shot down dream and every detoured road…

Every single burden carried and every unforeseen load…

Every single qualm and every quarrel fueled by pride…

Every single time I gave up and caught that worldly ride…

Every single ‘no’ I gave that took me far from pleasure…

Every single ‘yes’ I gave that led me to hidden treasures…

Every single laugh, every moment of pure joy…

Every undeserved gift, every job employed…

Every single moment my grave reached out for me…

Every single second Your love pursued me recklessly…

Every single time my broken spirit hoped again…

Every single assuring word that for me Your love would never end…

Every single day…

Every single moment of every single day of every single year…

You’re here.

And You’re still loving me…

You’re still loving ME…

Every.

Single.

Day.
