Lord, tonight I am tired,
weary and sleepy too
but, I know in the morning
I will start afresh in You.
But, for now I need rest,
on Your mercy I’ll lay my head
as I turn down the blankets
Your grace will cover my bed.
I’ll think of Your goodness,
Your compassion and Your love
visions of eternal life with You
will be all I’ll be dreaming of.
Sweet release will be mine,
from the hardships of the day
for I trust Your faithfulness
tomorrow will not go away!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lamentations 3:22-23
King James Version
“It is of the Lord’s mercies
that we are not consumed,
because his compassions fail not.
They are new every morning:
great is thy faithfulness.”

Ah, that is because I read and study my Bible daily where the truth is always found! So many are looking for the truth in other places . . . when I go there all I get is confused, but I am never confused when I go straight to God’s word and let the Holy Spirit teach me what I need to know. ~ Blessings ~
