You are hidden

Today you might feel exposed
Hospital gown flapping
Surgical stockings
But,
You are hidden.

You might feel vulnerable
as you consent to all the risks and
hope that nothing gets missed
But,
You are hidden.

You might feel on display
As your wound is opened up
Strangers come to take a look
But,
You are hidden.

Your life is hidden in Christ
Hidden and secure.
Nothing can ever change that
What sweet assurance?
He doesn't assure us that He'll fix it all
He doesn't promise us that life will be rosy
But He promises that He'll never leave us or forsake us
He is good and trustworthy

So, today you might feel exposed Dad
But you're not.
You. Are. Hidden
