He Wrote This For Me

By My Side
~ *by Joshua Reifsteck* ~

Hearts aflutter
Receding dark
Words we mutter
Love’s soft mark

Makes me want
To be with you
So never leave my side

The sky so high
The birds so blue
The earth so nigh
The love so true

I cannot help
But to be with you
So never leave my side

Life so short
Days are gone
Our royal courts
And well-kept lawns

I was always
there with you
And you never left my side

Even when
Time betrays
Or the lion’s den
Is here to stay

Even when
I’m out of days
God never leaves our side

Even in qualm or quarry
Give God not men
The Kingdom power and glory
Forever and ever, Amen.

Our father
Who art in heaven
Be by our side.

I love him so much.
With God, we can get through anything.
