Sons and daughters,
See now that I, even I am he,
And there is no god beside me.
I kill and I make alive
I wound and I heal
And there is none that can deliver out of my hand.
Am I not your father, who created you,
who made you and established you?
Are you not my sons and daughters?
Trust me, my darlings.
My work is perfect.
All my ways are justice.
I am a God of faithfulness.
I am without iniquity.
I am like nothing you have every known.
My ways are not your ways,
my thoughts are not your thoughts.
My love for you is abundant.
My grace for you is sufficient.
I will not leave you.
You are my people.
Don't you know, little ones,
That I found you in the desert land.
In the howling waste of the wilderness.
Do you remember?
I encircled you and cared for you
You are the apple of my eye.
I spread out my wings and caught you.
I bore you on my pinions.
I guided you and there was no foreign god with you.
When you are with me, you see the foolishness,
the worthlessness of all those foreign gods that want you.
I ride through the heavens to your help,
through the skies in my majesty
I am your dwelling place.
And underneath are my everlasting arms.
Deuteronomy 32 and 33
