I’m like an autumn leaf

Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall.
(Isaiah 64:6; NLT). 

1. Lord,
I’m like an autumn leaf,
My bones are only dust,
Yet I am yours for evermore,
My God, in whom I trust. 

2. Lord,
I’m like a fragile jar,
My mind is only clay,
Yet you are mine eternally,
My God, who cares each day.

3. Lord,
I’m like a morning mist,
My heart is only dew,
Yet I am yours for evermore,
My God, so great and true.  

4. Lord,
In birth, in life, and death,
My soul remains your home,
For you are mine eternally,
And I am yours alone.

My beloved is mine and I am his.
(Song of Songs 2:16; NIV).
