Perfect

My heart used to long to see your smile
Each day apart was my grief
Each day together was my joy
I counted down the hours until I could run to greet you

I love you more now than ever before
Yet today we are apart
And today my joy is full
Nothing could make this day more complete

For whatever our Father does
It is perfect
Nothing can be added to it
Nothing can be taken away from it

He has predestined my days
My years are written and planned
I look up to my Father and whisper
“My Lord, it is perfect.”

Even as my heart feels as though it may rip apart
Even as I hold back tears of goodbye
I walk alone to depart and I am complete
He is enough for all of my substance, joy, and strength.

Oh Lord, I am unworthy to walk with You in Your chosen path.
