I will claim my space.

I will claim my space.

I will claim my space with steady knees

and the knowledge that

You have hemmed me in behind and before.

I will walk strong and courageous,

because You are with me.

You never leave nor forsake.

You have called me further up and further into your life, freely given.

You have called me to freedom.

I will stand on this riverbank

rooted in joy.

I will rest in your presence

when I am weary

and You will delight over me with singing.

I will walk in confidence because
You are fairer than the sons of men,

and the security you give me

is better than children.

I will wait for You.

I will wait to see Your goodness in the land of the living.

I will practice trust by walking

though my back is sore

and dancing though I do not know the steps.

I will not give way to fear.

I will breathe slow

and claim my space

and rest in the knowledge that

you are Love
and I am Yours.
