                         I Am Before You


I am leading you out.  I am making a way before you.  I am moving you to 
Goshen.  In the midst of the desert I will place you in an Oasis.  
Surrounded by enemies yet you will never be harmed.  Though trouble come 
from the North and the South, you will be safe.  Though the Earth trembles, 
you will stay firm for I surround the land and I have placed you there.

Your trek has been long and the desert has been dry, yet your resting place 
is before you.  In the midst of troubled times I have prepared a place, I 
have called you in.  Do not grow weary for pastures await.

Take rest and see the hand of God in this place.  Be calm and know the power
of Him who has placed His seal upon you.  No hair on your head will be 
harmed.  No, no enemy can defeat you.  I stand before you.  I am God.

The sky may be torn apart but you will remain safe.  Troubles may seem all 
around you, but they cannot enter the place where I keep you.  Here you are 
safe.  Do not doubt but move on, move on.  I am before you.
