Hope sustains

When things seemed to fall apart
You kept me secure in you;
When things seemed hopeless
You made me believe;
When fear groped me in darkness
You lighted my way to the truth.

 

You have sustained me in weakness!
In silence, feeling forsaken and alone
You have urged me on;
When anxiety threatened my sanity
You reminded me of hope.

 

You have kept me in strength!
When I asked why, what, when….
You revealed the hidden things;
When reality failed me
You made me believe in you;
In you I have received grace!

The Prince of Peace

 " My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither be afraid" John 14: 27

            The lass dreams of a Prince
            The lad imagines he’s a prince
            But there is one true and real
            clothed in full armor;
            Mighty and powerful yet gentle
            He reaches out unexpected
            Times when low and doubting
            lost in shame and guilt
            rejected and abandoned;
            He knocks ever so gently
            Invited, He sits to sup’
            His presence inescapable
            merciful and compassionate;
            Promptly you empty your heart
            fear and pain revealed,
            confessing your guilt and shame;
            Your soul cleansed and restored
            peace abide within like never.
            The lass has met her prince
            The lad knows he is a prince!
