Be of Good Cheer ~

In this fallen world,
we’ll have pain and sorrow
but Jesus came to give us
a brighter tomorrow.

Oh, there’ll be days of defeat,
trials along with persecution
but Jesus came to overcome
the turmoil and confusion.

He knew we’d have troubles,
many worries and cares
but He came to comfort
and our burdens He does bear.

We’ll have grief and tragedy,
illnesses and disease
but He came to restore
and to set our minds at ease.

In this fallen world,
we’ll have pain and sorrow
but be of good cheer . . .
Jesus overcame our tomorrow!

John 16:33
King James Version

“These things I have spoken unto you,
that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

I Will Carry You ~

When you’re feeling over burdened,
and the answers are far and few
when your troubles cause you to stumble
I will carry you ~

When you’re feeling overwhelmed,
and you don’t know what more to do
when your worries take you to your knees
I will carry you ~

When you’re beaten up and broken,
and you have no one else to turn to
when you feel weak and faint
I will carry you ~

When your life becomes unraveled,
and everything seems to be askew
when your cares cause you to collapse
I will carry you ~

When you’re tired and oppressed,
and another day you can’t make through
when your agony causes you to cave in
I will carry you ~

When your path becomes uncertain,
and yet, yesterday the way you knew
when your journey comes to an end . . .
it’s because I’ve carried you!

Psalm 55:22
King James Version

“Cast thy burden upon the Lord,
and he shall sustain thee:
he shall never suffer the
righteous to be moved.”
