God sets a table before me …

                                         

Behold! God, my good Shepherd,

And the little lamb held tight in His hand.

I see, and I know it is I.

I see children gathered around Him,

One child sitting gently on His lap.

I know, it is I, in His embrace.

I see the carving on His palm,

My name engraved elegantly.

I am sure, it is I, whom He loves.

I see the disciples at the table,

One leaning on His chest, listening intently.

I am glad, for it is truly I, close to His heart.
