Christ In Us ~

Christ in us,
with us always
be it the good
or the bad days.

A promise to us,
never to leave
when onto Him
we faithfully cleave.

Christ in us,
til the world’s end
sticking by us
just like a friend.

A truth to behold,
to hide in our heart
knowing from us
He’ll never depart.

Christ in us,
oh, what a blessing
a truth into which . . .
we must keep pressing!

Matthew 28:20

Teaching them to observe all things

Jesus Said Come To Me ~

To the broken-hearted,
to Me, Jesus said to come
and to their heartache
they will not succumb.

To those who are weary,
to Him, He said to run
and He’d give His rest
to each and every one.

To those heavy-laden,
loaded down with sin
Jesus said He’d give
them each peace within.

To those perishing,
new life He said He’d give
for their trespasses
He’d promised He’d forgive.

To the broken and weary,
to the heavy laden . . .
Jesus said to come to Him
for they’ll not be forsaken!

~~~~~~~~

Matthew 11.28

Come unto me,
all ye that labour
and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.

A Love Letter From God ~

Today I received,
from God a love letter
I opened up my Bible
here is what I read . . .

I am your Creator,
I formed and molded you
before you were born . . .
I knitted you together too.

I’m the remedy to your needs,
I am your soothing balm
I’m the peace in your storm
I am that voice in the calm.

I’m all the grace you need,
in Me there’s eternal life
I came so that I could bear
the burden of your strife.

I am your staff of comfort,
I will shield and protect you
through life’s complexities
together we’ll get through.

I am the anchor of your soul,
a safe place to run and hide
for I will never forsake you . . .
I’ll always be at your side.

I’m the lamp unto your way,
with my Word I will guide
I am the One who you feel
stirring up deep inside.

I am your Creator,
I knew you from the start
that is why I gave to you . . .
for Me a loving heart!

~~~~~~~~

1 John 4:16

And we have known and
believed the love that God
hath to us. God is love; and

dwelleth in God, and God in him.

I know God’s name,
in Him I do trust
for I know He’s fair
and always just.

In Him I find,
my peace and rest
for He gives to me
only His very best.

I call on Him,
when I’m troubled
He rescues me
on the double.

He never fails,
or forsakes me
from all my fears
He sets me free.

I know God’s name,
I seek His face
He bestows on me
His mercy and grace!

Faith To Overcome~

Though I have trials,
tests and tribulations
my cup remains full . . .

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

Though I have problems,

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,

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.

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!

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

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!

My God, He is in the midst,
continually He has proved
nothing that life brings me
