IN A SECRET PLACE

LIFE IN COLOR

            Gloria Phifer

           

            My small, delicate heart was beating in the secret place as the young woman wrestled

With my existence.  I was changing her life.

            In the darkness, where I was being created and developed, You, my God, were there.

            As I floated in liquid space You watched over me.  The darkness was light to You,

my God.

            I was fearfully and wonderfully made.

            You knit all my parts together as Your handiwork.  How marvelous are Your works

Oh my God…my soul knows it very well.  I was not hid from You as I was made in

Secret and fashioned in my mother's womb.

            Your Hand covered and rocked me.  I slept in Your presence.  When I awoke You were still there.  Your eyes were filled with love and acceptance, as You watched my

Formation.  Before I was completely formed, You, my Heavenly Father, wrote all my

Parts in Your Baby Book.

            Your thoughts were so precious toward me.  There were so many they could not be counted.  They were more then the grains of sand.

            My faithful Father, You rejoiced at my conception, my development, and my delivery

Into this world  as Your child.

            My Papa God, You brought me out of darkness into Your glorious light.
