“I Am With You Always”

(Inspired by Matthew 28:20)

1

The path stretches ahead,
unknown, uncertain,
filled with questions,
but not empty of presence.

2

You do not go alone,
you do not step forward unseen,
your journey is known,
your way is held.

3

The world shifts,
nations rise and fall,
time moves like the tide,
but My promise remains.

4

When you stand before many,
when you whisper in secret,
when your words feel small,
I am there.

5

The mountains will not separate,
the valleys will not hide,
the oceans will not distance,
for I go with you.

6

Through storms and silence,
through battle and peace,
through joy and sorrow,
I walk beside you.

7

The task is great,
the calling is weighty,
but you do not carry it alone,
for I bear it with you.

8

Wherever you are sent,
wherever your feet may stand,
wherever your voice may rise,
I have already gone before you.

9

Not for a moment will I leave,
not for a breath will I forsake,
until the last word is spoken,
until the work is done.

10

I am with you always,
not sometimes, not briefly,
but always—
until the end of the age.

“Never Alone”

(Inspired by Matthew 28:20)

1

The road ahead is vast,
stretching beyond sight,
filled with places unknown,
but I do not walk alone.

2

The task is great,
the call is clear,
to go, to teach, to reach—
yet I am not sent alone.

3

The weight of the mission presses,
the world resists,
fear whispers,
but His voice is steady.

4

He does not stand at a distance,
watching, waiting,
He moves beside me,
leading every step.

5

In the quiet of morning,
in the noise of the crowd,
in the solitude of doubt,
He remains.

6

Through doors that open,
through doors that close,
through paths unknown,
His presence does not fade.

7

The winds may shift,
the journey may change,
but the promise is unshaken—
I am with you always.

8

Not just in the light,
not just in the victory,
but in the struggle,
in the waiting, in the storm.

9

Even to the last breath,
even to the last mile,
even when strength fails,
He is still here.

10

I go forward,
not in fear, not alone,
but with the One
who never leaves.

not in a palace, not in wealth,
but in the quiet of night,
beneath a sky filled with wonder.

2

He is more than a child,
more than a name,
more than a promise—
He is God with us.

3

Not distant, not hidden,
not watching from afar,
but stepping into dust and hunger,
walking where we walk.

4

He knows the weight of sorrow,
the sting of rejection,
the frailty of flesh,
yet He remains divine.

5

Hands that formed the world
reach for a mother’s embrace,
eyes that saw the beginning
blink against the dawn.

6

He is not just for kings,
not just for the righteous,
but for the broken, the weary,
for those who thought they were forgotten.

7

The name spoken by angels,
whispered by shepherds,
feared by rulers,
now rests in the hearts of men.

8

God is no longer a shadow,
no longer a distant voice,
but here, present,
walking among us.

9

Emmanuel—
the name that changes everything,
the truth that breaks the silence,
the love that will not leave.

10

He came,
He stayed,
He saves,
and He is with us still.

but you are not alone.

2

The river swells,
the path disappears beneath the flood,
the way forward is uncertain,
but I am with you.

3

The flames leap high,
heat presses against your skin,
the fire surrounds you,
but you will not be consumed.

4

You were never promised ease,
never given a life without storms,
but you were given a name,
and I have called you My own.

5

The deep will not take you,
the fire will not destroy you,
the trial will not break you,
for I am the Lord your God.

6

I parted the seas before you,
I walked in the fire beside you,
I stood in the valley behind you,
and I will not leave you now.

7

When you tremble, I am your strength,
when you doubt, I am your certainty,
when you fear, I am your shield,
when you fall, I am your rescue.

8

Your path is not unknown to Me,
your suffering is not unseen,
I hold every moment,
I stand in every storm.

9

So walk forward,
step into the waters,
stand in the fire,
knowing I am near.

For I have called you,
I have chosen you,
I have redeemed you,
and you are Mine.

but the command remains—
Be strong, be courageous.

2

Fear rises like a shadow,
doubt whispers in the silence,
but My voice is louder—
I am with you.

3

You do not walk alone,
your strength is not your own,
your steps are held firm
by the One who called you.

4

The rivers will not sweep you away,
the walls before you will fall,
the battle may rage,
but victory is already written.

5

Do not turn back,
do not hesitate at the edge,
for I have gone before you,
and I stand behind you.

6

This land is yours to take,
not by your power,
not by your wisdom,
but by My hand.

7

The giants in the land will tremble,
the strongholds will crumble,
for I do not send without promise,
I do not command without provision.

8

Keep My words close,
let them guide your steps,
let them strengthen your heart,
for My truth never fails.

9

Wherever you go,
from the valley to the mountain,
from the battle to the stillness,
I am with you.

10

So go forward,
not in fear, not in doubt,
but in faith, in strength,
in the presence of your God.
