The Safest Place to Be

by Dave Mudford © 2018

Wanting not to risk the safety that we know,
We think we are safe, settled in what we can guarantee,
Security found, in the things we can control,
Never realizing that is not the safest place to be!

Comfortable in conditions, that we can predict,
Never soaring to heights, that were designed by Thee,
Wings clipped by fear, from within ourselves,
Always I am searching for a safer place to be!

God is calling us out of our comfort zones,
To gladly risk it all, while living on my knee,
No fear of unknowns, for our future's in His hands,
Living in His will is the safest place to be!

We are safely in the boat, secure from the storm,
But we'll never walk on water, without Christ as our trustee,
We need to walk to Jesus, even though we just might sink,
For out there on the water is the safest place to be!

So, if you find yourself looking for a refuge,
To protect your fragile heart, from all the world's debris,
It's time to be obedient, and be faithful to His call,
Trusting in His guiding is the safest place to be!

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
