Analysis of You
You know when I rise.
You know when I rest.
You know what I am thinking.
You know what I will speak.
You know all of me.
You know my path.
You are my future.
You are already there.
You hold me in your hand.
You wipe away my tears.
You heard my prayers.
You kept your promises.
No weapons will form against me.
When my God is before me.
Yahweh, you are my life.
I am your living sacrifice.
