My faith has sustained me,
through life’s’ ups and downs
it has been with me . . .
through laughter and frowns.
My faith has carried me,
through tragedy and grief
it has provided me . . .
with strength and relief.
My faith has helped me,
though periods of drought
it has saved me . . .
from my fear and doubt.
My faith has kept me,
through stormy conditions
it has supported me . . .
with prayer and petitions.
My faith has taken me,
through days of not knowing
it has stabilized me . . .
as harsh winds came blowing.
My faith has sustained me,
through life’s highs and lows
it has taught me to trust . . .
in the One who knows!
~~~~~~~~
“O lord, thou hast searched me,
and known me.
Thou knowest
my downsitting
and mine uprising,
thou understandest my
thought afar off.”
