I Will, You Are

I Will, You Are by adrienne scott, fall 2024

In the birth

when all is new

I will praise

you are life

In the deep

immersed in unknown

I will reach

you are truth

In doubt

where fears cry out

I will call

you are nearer than I can see

In the dream

that rushes through my soul

I will grab hold

you are steady

In the unsettled

when all is in the air

I will look

you hold it together

In grief

that presses me to dust

I will worship

you are with me*

In flight

tucked under your wing

I will hold on tight

you are the shelter

In dying

my flesh conceding

I will live again

you are the resurrection

In growth

flourishing fruit, abundantly

I will thank you, still

you are the sourcing

In the not yet

the sting of disappointment

I will bow in reverence

you are holy

In the running out

when everything empties

I will give you this earthen vessel

you are the glory

In surrender

where all I am is yours

I vow to stay

you are worthy

*inspired by this quote from Charles Spurgeon. “My dear friend, when grief presses you to the dust, worship there.”
