This week our thought for the week is a poem written by Liz Cooper, You Number Every Hair On My Head.

There is no other name higher,
There is no one greater than You, O’ Lord
Yet you know every detail of my life,
You number every hair on my head,
You know every fear,
You know every joy
You are God Almighty, the creator of the universe,
But yet You are my Abba Father,
And you hold me so close.

When I wander down paths of my own making,
You draw me back into You,
You watch over me,
Never slumbering or sleeping,
And even when the day feels as dark as night,
Your promises are the light of dawn coming,
Your hope burgeons eternal and true.

So no matter where this day, month or year will take me,
I know that I travel with You,
And you love to hear me chatter as we go,
Telling You my hopes and fears,
Dreams and plans,
As we walk together hand in hand.

But then let me fall silent,
And rest awhile in Your arms,
Whilst you speak words of wisdom,
Into my life and circumstances,
Let my eyes ever be fixed on You,
And lovingly gaze at Your face,
For there I will find my purpose and my peace forevermore.
