Praises of Assurance

From Psalm 57:1-2: “Be merciful to me, O God; be merciful to me, for in You my soul takes refuge; in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge, until the destroying storms pass by. I cry to God Most High, to God who fulfills His purpose for me.”

Surrounded with His mercy
God offers refuge for thee
Praises of assurance
Shadows of darkness flee

Fulfilled through Savior’s actions
God sends glory’s salvation
Praises of steadfast love
Truth builds faith’s foundation

Awakened at dawn’s sunrise
Grace fed from Christ’s inner heart
Praises of what’s to come
Blessed with journey’s restart

Wounded at Calvary’s cross
Not even death shall suppress
Praises of sacrifice
Christ conquers sin’s distress

Encouraged to follow Christ
Resurrection’s scripted peace
Praises of surrender
Forgiveness crafts faith’s lease

From Psalm 57:10-11: “For Your steadfast love is as high as the heavens; Your faithfulness extends to the clouds. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens. Let Your glory be over all the earth.”

Everlasting Love

From Proverbs 3:1-2: “My child, do not forget My teaching, but let your heart keep My commandments, for length of days and years of life and abundant welfare they will give you.”

Worshipping Father daily
Heart’s loyalty never meek
Witnessed through Christ’s faithfulness
Praising every truth He speaks

Embracing Father’s teachings
Righteousness fills Spirit’s flight
Commandments rise from Christ’s rock
Living through Word’s constant light

Tasting Father’s fruitful grace
Good Shepherd’s daily check-in
Each fiber of Spirit breathes
Nourishing goodness within

Trusting in Father’s wisdom
Spirit’s refreshment appears
Witness being one in Christ
Understanding always clear

Rising tides of Father’s peace
Filled with everlasting love
All chains of darkness vanquished
Knowing Christ resides above
