Straddling God's Thigh

I can laugh today, straddling God’s Thigh
      In spite of what my eye may see,
I’m safe there, perched upon His knee.
      I lay back with a sigh.

I don’t understand, everything I’ve done.
     The circumstances that I’m in.
The consequences of my sin.
     The frenzied race I’ve run.

And if I should die, failing in my goal.
     To realize the dream’s I’d had.
To separate the good from bad.
      His love will make me whole.

I can laugh today, creation gone awry,
     Safe with Him, straddling God’s thigh
