By Mark Caldwell-Reiss

I.

I redeem you

I call out your name

I call for you

I will be with you.

II.

I call out your name

even as you go through fire

I will be with you all the same

as you cross rivers and oceans un-tame.

III.

As you go through fire

know you are precious to me.

Rivers, oceans, fires

I will be with you as

you journey free.

IV.

You Mark are my precious child!

You ask, “But where is my home?”

I’ll be with you, the journey is not mild.

Don’t be afraid, I am with you, come!
