JEHOVAH SHAMMAH
Jehovah Shammah means The Lord He is There.
And as He cares for the flowers, for me He does care.
He's here to support me in everything I do,
And to love me even though to Him I'm not always true.
He was there when I was born and none could know me better,
For it is He who crafted me, like a beautiful sweater.
He knows what caused every affliction, shame and trouble,
But He said in His word that for my shame He'll give me double.
When I sought for love in the ungodly place
It left me full of not acceptance but disgrace.
But even then Jehovah Shammah was drawing me near.
I could hear His voice calling, My daughter, I'm right here.
Then finally to His voice I did heed.
He had wanted to satisfy my every need,
And learn to place my affections on things above
For in Him I would find unconditional love.
But even now, when I want to wander and stray
And those who love me I tend to push away,
I still sense the Lord calling, My dear daughter,
Drink from my well. There's healing in my water.
He's shown me that He is my father, my brother, my husband, my friend.
He's been with me from the beginning, and will be until the end.
So in closing, I've one thing left to say:
Jehovah Shammah will never, never, never go away.
Deuteronomy 31:8
It is the Lord Who goes before you; He will [march] with you; He will not fail you or let you go or forsake you; [let there be no cowardice or flinching, but] fear not, neither become broken [in spirit--depressed, dismayed, and unnerved with alarm].
