Faith To Overcome~

Though I have trials,
tests and tribulations
my cup remains full . . .
of God’s declarations.

For He promises to me,
not to leave or forsake
and in His living water
I can always partake.

Though I have problems,
concerns, worries and cares
my cup remains full . . .
knowing He hears my prayers.

For He promises to me,
today’s grace is enough
and that He’ll be with me
whenever the road gets rough.

Though I have tribulations,
trials, tests and problems
my cup overflows . . .
with the faith to overcome!

Psalm 23:5

My cup runneth over.

I’ll Never Forsake You ~

I’ll never leave or forsake you,
for you I will always care
I understand your feelings
how much you have to bear.

I’ll never leave or desert you,
even when you think I’m far away
I know each step you have taken
I have been with you all the way.

I’ll never leave or depart from you,
I am always right here near by
I know what you’ve been through
in my bottle are the tears you cry.

I’ll never leave or quit on you,
even though you feel I’m not there
I’m always watching out for you
you have always been in My care.

I’ll never leave or forsake you,
your every thought I know and see
I’m always here to listen to you . . .
now can you say the same ~ for Me?

In The Eye of The Beholder ~

In the eye of the Beholder,
you are a precious thing . . .
that is why He protects you
under His almighty wings.

For you are the object,
of His undying affection
forgotten you’ll be not
nor will you face rejection.

In the eye of the Beholder,
an apple to Him you are
that is why He promises
from you He is never far.

The mercy He has for you,
nothing could ever sever
and so He shelters you
underneath His feathers.

In the eye of the Beholder,
you are to Him a treasure
He loves you with a love . . .
without limit or measure!

Luke 12:6-7

Are not five sparrows sold
for two farthings, and not
one of them is forgotten
before God?

But even the very hairs of
your head are all numbered.
Fear not therefore: ye are of
more value than many sparrows.

Psalm 17:8

Keep me as the
apple of the eye,
hide me under
the shadow of thy wings,

Jesus Is That Friend ~

When others reject you,
when you feel let down
know you have a Friend
who is always around.

Jesus is that Friend,
who’ll never leave you
nor will you He abandon
like other people do.

When others put you off,
when they pay no notice
know you have a Friend
who has you in His focus.

Jesus is that Friend,
who sticks just like glue
He will never relinquish
the hold He has on you.

When others dismiss you,
when you are on your own
know you have a Friend
who’ll never leave you alone.

Jesus is the best Friend,
that you’ll ever make
for, He is your only Friend
who truly won’t forsake!

God’s Steadfast Love ~

When sorrow greets me,
upon the break of day
I know God’s love . . .
will take the pain away.

For His loving-kindness,
when I am heartbroken
is filled with the promise
I’ll not be left forsaken.

When I’m discouraged,
before depression sets in
I think about God’s love
living steadfast within.

For His kind-heartedness,
is my souls retreat . . .
where my faith and trust
is made in Him, complete.

When my head I lay down,
at the end of the day . . .
I sing praises to my Lord
for the love He sent my way!

at night his song is with me

God Is In The Midst ~

My God He is in the midst,
I shall not be moved . . .
He is always at my side
this He has always proved.

For, He is my sure refuge,
He has kept me safe
in Him, I have placed
every ounce, of my faith.

My God, is in the midst,
though, my troubles soar
in Him I shall rise . . .
above their anxious roar.

For, He is my helper,
ever-present, ever-near
I call upon His name . . .
to calm my every fear.

My God, He is in the midst,
continually He has proved
nothing that life brings me
shall cause me to be moved!
