Because I Am His Own

By Worthie Harris Holden

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN
God knows; and though all others planned But ill for me, my Father's hand Would sanctify their vilest deed, And through its mire my footsteps lead To heights before unknown.
God cares; and though all friends may flee, His love protects me constantly; As Father, Brother, Saviour, Friend, He guards and keeps me to the end, To bring me to his throne.
God saves, and though some force of might Or demon-powers flood my sight, He snatches me from sin and strife, And meets my weakness with his life, Because I am his own.
So great God's power and majesty, Yet he delights to think of me; So high his thought and vast design, Still he inspires this soul of mine To live for him alone!
