God, At Base

You are, Lord, my beginning and my end,
You are my base, and court of last resort,
You are my first and best and final friend,
in war, my fort, in stormy seas, my port.

O God, I love You most, You’re my Plan A,
but when my plans break down, You’re Plan B too,
I go to You to make it all OK,
and You forgive me every sin I do.

You’re my foundation, God, my basic ground,
You set me firm, yet let me sail in space,
You fire my mind, but keep my thinking sound,
You fuel me with Your fortitude and grace.

You are my outward face, my inner core,
tell me, O Lord, what could I ask for more?
