SCOOP ME UP

When I was a small, small child

I was caught on the beach when a storm blew in suddenly

I just remember being scared and lost

The sand was stinging my skin, it was in my eyes, my mouth

I cannot remember if I cried

Suddenly....

A man came out of nowhere and scooped me up

He covered me in a towel

He carried me to safety

Last night I tossed and turned

Life, relationships, things.... felt like sand stinging my heart.

Scoop me up, Lord

Let me hide in You, the safety of You

Like a child

If I can only lock onto Your eyes, they will be my lodestar

They will guide me throughout the storm

Let me sense the steadiness of You

Scoop me up in arms that I know love me

Scoop me up

You are my Rescuer, over & over

Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love,

for in you I trust.

Make me know the way I should go,

for to you I lift up my soul.

Deliver me....O Lord, I have fled to you for refuge! Psalm 143:8,9
