God’s Enduring Love ~
Lord, Your enduring love,
my heart stills and hushes
I can feel my soul warm
as into it rushes.
It steadfastly releases,
a soothing, calming effect
as into my life
Your peace You direct.
Lord, Your enduring love,
my mind fully relieves
as tranquil thoughts of You
it opens up and receives.
It truly empties,
all things that I fear
as into my thoughts
it brings You more near.
Lord, Your enduring love,
is forever merciful . . .
straight from heaven above
keeping me to You vertical!
~~~~~~~~~~
Give thanks to the God
of heaven,
for his steadfast love
endures forever.

Faith And Assurance ~
Faith and assurance,
go hand in hand . . .
you can’t just have one
if your hope is to stand.
For faith without sureness,
is like a boat with a hole
allowing fear and doubt
to sink into your soul.
Assurance and Faith,
go side by side . .
you can’t just have one
if you want to abide.
For assurance without trust,
is like a bird without a nest
keeping us from finding
God’s true peace and rest.
Faith and assurance,
fit just like a glove
for they’re both a gift
from heaven above!
~~~~~~
“Let us draw near with
a true heart in full
assurance of faith,
having our hearts sprinkled
from an evil conscience,
and our bodies washed
with pure water.”

A Heart Quiet Knows ~
A heart quiet,
is one God trusting
one that doesn’t . . .
go around fretting.
For in God,
it is confident
because it knows
He is competent.
A heart quiet,
is one God yielding
one that knows . . .
it’s not worth worrying.
For in God,
it rests assured
it knows in Him
its peace is secured.
A heart quite,
is a heart that knows
God is with it . . .
where ever it goes!
~~~~~~~
“For thus saith the Lord God,
the Holy One of Israel;
In returning and rest
shall ye be saved;
in quietness and in
confidence shall be
your strength:
and ye would not.”

The Path of Truth ~
Lord, today I need
to know what is Your will
and until You show me . . .
I’ll just wait and be still.
I need Your guidance,
for the road ahead
I need the assurance
I will be Spirit lead.
Lord, today I need,
to heed what You say
so on the path of truth
I will be able to stay.
I need to learn to wait,
for the right directions
I need You to teach me
how to pay attention.
Lord, today I need to know,
what You’d have me to do
for I don’t want to walk . . .
down this road without You!

and teach me: for thou art
the God of my salvation;
on thee do I wait all the day”

Blessings of Assurance ~
Each day in my Bible,
I am blessed to read
of every assurance
that I will ever need.
I have a warranty,
to God’s mercy and grace
I have evidence
one day I’ll see His face.
I have a verification,
of life eternally
I have the Holy Spirit
dwelling internally.
I have confidence,
God hears all my prayers
I have affirmation
Jesus takes my cares.
I have a guarantee,
temptation I can flee
I have a crown of life
that is awaiting me.
I have a promise,
death I will not fear
I have an insurance
Jesus is always near.
I have a sureness,
I’ll not hunger or thirst
I have the authority
to always seek God first.
I have a confirmation,
I am God’s child
I have a surety
in Jesus I’m reconciled.
Each time I read my Bible,
there are blessings of assurance
to which I’ll hold tight . . .
until Jesus’ reappearance!

My Portion ~
The Lord is my portion,
He is my all and all
He satisfies my inner needs
when on His name I call.
I lack not one good thing,
when to Him I injure
He grants my spiritual wants
for He is my faith supplier.
The Lord is my contentment,
He is my true happiness
He gives my heart and soul
assurance, hope and gladness.
I know I can count on Him,
to make my cup full . . .
everything else is just fluff
when push comes to pull.
The Lord is my portion,
on His mercy I can rely
these are His promises
in my life, I daily apply!

Care Casting ~
My cares I’m casting,
with all sureness
giving them to the Lord
with this assurance.
That all of my concerns,
He will take from me
from my every worry
He will set me free.
With confidence,
I’m placing all my trust
onto the One
who truly loves us.
My every illness,
all my pain and grief
I’m letting Jesus have
so I may have relief.
My cares I am casting,
onto Jesus with sureness
because He has given me
His caring assurance!

The Power of Prayer ~
There’s power in prayer,
there is a mighty force
whenever we go to
the Almighty source.
There’s hope in prayer,
it’s our defense and shield
when to God our hearts
we give to Him and yield.
There’s conviction in prayer,
it’s our eternal assurance
it helps us to run the race
with patience and endurance.
There’s joy in prayer,
it’s the means to happiness
for when we trust God
it brings His heart gladness.
There’s power in prayer,
just go to the Almighty source
there’s strength and greatness
behind His mighty force!

Oh, The Precious Blood ~
Oh, the precious blood of Jesus,
grace flowing from His brow
seeps with our salvation
God’s atonement for us now.
Oh, the precious blood of Jesus,
love pouring from His heart
trickles of blessed assurance
only God’s mercy can impart.
Oh, the precious blood of Jesus,
redemption running free
droplets of His forgiveness
reconciliation for you and me.
Oh, the precious blood of Jesus,
justification pours from within
each drip that is brought forth
covers each and every sin
Oh, the precious blood of Jesus,
God’s spotless Lamb of grace
gave His life so we may live
if His sacrifice ~ we’d embrace!

Trusting In Jesus ~
Put your trust in Jesus,
you, He will not disappoint
place your faith in Jesus
make Him your vantage point.
He will give you the insight,
to discern the truth from lies
and you will see all things
in and through His eyes.
Trust not in mankind,
or the deceit that they tell
place not your confidence
in the peace, they try to sell.
Place no trust in the world,
do not think things will bring
joy and happiness
to worldly riches do not cling.
Do not trust even yourself,
let not pride get in the way
from the righteous path
do not deviate or stray.
Place your assurance in Jesus,
keep His Word in you alive
do not think for one minute
without Him, you’d survive.
Put your trust in Jesus,
hold onto Him, ever tight
place your faith in Jesus
never let Him out of your sight!

The Bridge ~
There is a bridge you can take,
it leads to water’s living . . .
it’s there you’ll find peace
merciful and forgiving.
Over trials and tribulations,
it will take you across
the span of His loving hands
will lead you to the cross.
It is a bridge of assurance,
trouble waters will not last
and for you He has a future
much better than the past.
The hardships in this life,
will take faith to get through
and Jesus is the bridge linking
His Father right to you!

Glory to My Lord ~
Oh, Glory to my Lord,
for His awesome grace
mercy He has given me
despite my own disgrace.
Oh, Glory to my Lord,
for abundant is His love
generously He grants me
blessings from above.
Oh, Glory to my Lord,
for His mercifulness to me
assurance I didn’t work for
but, given to me for free.
Oh, Glory to my Lord,
for His riches do exceed
treasures I don’t deserve
yet, meet my every need.
Oh, Glory to my Lord,
I hail and praise His name
today, tomorrow, forever . . .
His love remains the same!

Be Still and Rest Assured ~
Whenever you are anxious,
turn your fears over to the Lord
give Him all your worries
then be still and rest assured.
For, He will bring you comfort,
when you learn to lean on Him
He will send His light to shine
and things will be less grim.
Whenever you are uncertain,
give Jesus your insecurity
He’ll understand your doubt
and bring to you His clarity.
For, great is His loving kindness,
He brings rest to the weary soul
and when you need a friend
He’s always ready to console .
Whenever you are anxious,
don’t keep Jesus at arm’s length
draw Him close and near
so you may find His strength!

In Your Light ~
Lord . . .
As the moon beams fade,
along with the darken night
I ask You to walk with me
and lead me in Your light.
In the morning’s early luster,
amidst it’s golden hue
I rise up with the sun
and give my day to You.
While the air is yet cool,
before the dew sets in
I cover myself in Your love
till I feel Your warmth within.
Before the birds first song,
while all is calm and still
I meditate on Your Word . . .
and learn for me Your will.
When the day dawns on me,
lit by the Spirit’s glow
I rest assured in knowing
You’ll be with me as I go!

Our Eternal Assurance ~
God’s love never fails,
it never fades or pales
that is our assurance
our eternal insurance.
Our soul He’ll protect,

our mind and our heart
when hope we impart.
He’s the light in our lamp,
redemption’s seal and stamp
the source of our power
no matter the day or hour.
He is the grace in our cup,
when on His Word we sup
our faith in Him will grow
the more about Him we know.
God is the Father, the Son
the Holy Spirit ~ makes one
to us that is His assurance
to all, His eternal insurance!

The Reason for My Hope
I believe in God,
in all of His glorious creation
I believe He made the heavens
and the earth's foundation.I believe that man,
came from but dust
I believe it's God's image
He puts into all of us.I believe that Satan,
is the cause for our fallen state
I believe it's still his lies
he uses on us to trap and bait.I believe that man's heart,
has always been cold and callous
I believe it's full of deceit
filled with ungodly malice.I believe in Jesus,
God's only begotten Son
I believe He died and rose again
for the sins of everyone.I believe in redemption,
from our wicked, evil ways
I believe it's the blood of the Lamb
that washes our sins away.I believe in God's love,
I believe in His grace
I believe one day
God's judgement all will face.I believe in Heaven,
I also believe in hell . . .
I believe for eternity it's where
the unsaved will dwell.I believe in the hope,
Jesus imparts in me
I believe all can be saved
if these truth they'd just see!~~~~~~~~~~~~

will take me, Lord from Thee.I will not tremble,
I have nothing to fear

on my Rock, I will stand
if I was to stumble
in His grace I will land.I will not be moved,
