"AT FIRST!"
© 1999 Patricia L. Carpenter
At first He is our ~Savior~
Who saves us from our sin,
Then He is our ~Rescuer~
as He rescues us over & over again.
But, then He becomes our ~Shepherd~
for we are sheep who need His leading,
Ah, but now He is our ~Father~
& 'for us' He's interceding.
He is The ~Captain~ of our ship
& our ~Anchor~ that holds us steady,
Oh, but when He is our ~Master~
He helps us to 'get ready'.
Get ready for The ~Bridegroom~
Who will One Day call,
Taking us up to Heaven forever
so we can 'have a ball'!
