From Deuteronomy 31:8:  “It is the Lord who goes before you.  He will be with you; He will not fail you or forsake you.  Do not fear or be dismayed.”

Always going before us

Seeing every tomorrow

Faith’s steadfast anchor

Courage, buoyed by Spirit’s shadow

Every moment in prayer

Feeling His daily kinship

Peace shared from Father

Grace sails, with encouragement’s ship

Journey’s turbulent moments

Shrinking in Calvary’s light

Christ wins each battle

Enemy’s darkness, taking flight

Imperfect oceans of faith

Sailing upon trusted rock

Redemption in Christ

Mercy’s strength, brings to Heaven’s dock

From 1 Corinthians 16:13:  “Keep alert; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.”
