refugee

I am a refugee.

I run to Him and hide myself

but there I find power, boldness.

so out I go

and with me He comes.

then, even in a foreign land

even in a barren desert

even in the furthest place

I am home in Him.

It's a simple poem because it's a simple thought. All day I find myself falling effortlessly into His grace and love and freedom. He is always there, arms wide and warm and wonderful.

"If I go to the heavens or down below

You are right there waiting

If I rise on the wings of the dawn

You are there, I will find you waiting

You are in the highest place

You are in the falling rain

You are in the mountain peaks 

And valleys speak wonders of your name

You are in the perfect sky 

You're in every breath I breathe 

You're every moment life seems to pass me by 

You're my Prince of Peace."
