My Hope Is In The Lord ~

My hope doesn’t disappoint,
it never lets me down . . .
my hope is in the Lord
it’s always to be found.

It keeps me in perfect peace,
when around me there’s distress
it keeps me in God trusting
my faith it does not suppress.

My hope I’m not ashamed of,
it is my Life and my Way
my hope cannot be moved
by what other people say.

It keeps me focused,
on my eternal destiny
it fills my heart with joy
with vision’s heavenly.

My hope doesn’t disappoint,
it is my eternal goal . . .
my hope is the only thing
saving this wretched soul!

Jeremiah 17:7

Blessed is the man
that trusteth in the Lord,
and whose hope the Lord is.

Isaiah 26:3-4

Thou wilt keep him
in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed
on thee: because he
trusteth in thee.

Trust ye in the Lord for ever:
for in the Lord Jehovah
is everlasting strength:

Romans 1:16

For I am not ashamed
of the gospel of Christ:
for it is the power of God
unto salvation to every
one that believeth;
to the Jew first, and
also to the Greek.

Seeking God’s Face ~

Lord, today I’m seeking,
Your loving face
so that Your kindness
my heart can embrace.

I’m going to look for,
the light of my salvation
until it becomes
my minds only fixation.

I’m searching beyond,
the darkness that I see
so trust and confidence
can become a part of me.

I am going to focus in,
on the power You instill
so my mind can learn
to be quiet and ever still.

Lord, today I’m seeking,
Your loving protection
so You can work in me
Your peaceful perfection!

“When thou saidst,
Seek ye my face;

Thy face, Lord, will I seek.”

Don’t Worry, Be Trusting ~

Don’t worry about tomorrow,
don’t fret about today
just keep your eyes on Jesus
let Him take your cares away.

Don’t become weary,
don’t become faint and weak
just keep your eyes on Jesus
make sure He’s the first you seek.

Don’t stress about anything,
don’t tense up about your life
just keep your eyes on Jesus
let Him deal with all your strife.

Don’t become fearful,
don’t become full of doubt
just keep your eyes on Jesus
let Him work your faith out.

Don’t be anxious for tomorrow,
don’t stress about anything
just keep your eyes on Jesus
and be sure to pray for everything!

Philippians 4:6

“Be careful for nothing;
but in every thing by prayer
and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests
be made known unto God.”

From the Poem: In Perfect Peace

His Perfect Peace ~

When I struggle
with crippling doubt
it’s when I don’t . . .
first seek God out.

When I think,
I am not really free
it’s when the devil
is messing with me.

When I battle,
with high anxiety
it’s when I don’t . . .
trust God’s authority.

When I feel,
I am all alone
it’s when my eyes
are off His throne.

When my fears,
to God, I release
it’s when I have . . .
His perfect peace!

“Thou wilt keep him
in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed

trusteth in thee.”

The Promises of Peace ~

 

God’s promises of peace,
are written throughout the Bible
within the pages are woven
promises of renewal and revival.

He promises to comfort us,
in times of suffering and sickness
when hardships come our way
He sends promises of stillness.

He promises to give us strength,
in times of sorrow and grief
when life pressures build up
He gives the promise of relief.

God promises of peace,
surpasses our comprehension
guarding our hearts and minds
to calm all our apprehension.

With the promise of forgiveness,
comes peace and security
that in heaven with Jesus
we will spend all of eternity.

He promises us perfect peace,
when we fix our eyes . . .
on the One who promises us
all our needs, He will supply!

Isaiah 26:3

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on thee:
because he trusteth in thee.”
