From Lamentations 3:22-24: “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. ‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘therefore I will hope in Him.'”
Enemy only brings
Darkness upon thee
Emptiness clings
Again, lost at sea
Trapped in wilderness maze
No escape for thee
Sun’s missing rays
What does Spirit see?
God’s arrow finds its mark
Peace comes upon thee
Redemption’s ark
His Word’s faithful key
Salvation’s open gate
Savior’s love for thee
Mercy’s soulmate
Evil’s breath now flees
Bethlehem’s blessed light
Shineth upon thee
Hope taking flight
Praying on both knees
Freedom from heavy chains
Sins’ debts paid for thee
Christ shoulders pain
Grace forever free
From Lamentations 3:55-57: “I called on Your name, O Lord, from the depths of the pit; You heard my plea, ‘Do not close Your ear to my cry for help, but give me relief!’ You came near when I called on You; You said, ‘Do not fear!'”
