From Deuteronomy 8:3:  “He humbled you by letting you hunger, then by feeding you with manna, with which neither you nor your ancestors were acquainted, in order to make you understand that one does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.”

Life’s darkening journey

Never exempt from pain

Evil always prowling

Adversity’s campaign

 

Seeking life’s foundation

Holy Word, God alone

Heavenly love provides

Troubles no longer groan

 

Praise our Great Comforter

Treasures open, His love

Understanding God’s law

Commandments from above

 

Freed from harsh wilderness

Rejoice with faithful trust

Delighting in God’s love

Filled with hope, life adjusts

 

Depend upon the Lord

Manna nourishing needs

Trials teach bold lessons

His great love always leads

Marked with genuine, lasting love

Walking in daily harmony

Living in Christ, cherished moments

Covered by His forgiving grace

Centering on infinite love

Patience guides, finishing life’s race

 

Living in Christ, tasting His love

Called to follow in faithful ways

Building new life with righteousness

Heavens singing with blessed praise

 

Living in Christ, God’s chosen ones

Baptized, newest children of God

Eternal Lord in Heaven

Our faithfulness flows from Him

God’s Word pilots creation

Through time’s ages, never dim

 

Evil prowling in darkness

Waiting to maim and uproot

God’s love, lasting protection

His grace lighting life’s new route

 

Accepting God’s Holy law

Life filling with His delight

Marching with our conviction

Saved from misery’s dark night

 

Reading daily from Scripture

In His Word, Lord shall converse

Living with Father’s wisdom

Love every single verse

 

Father’s Word always teaches

Guiding life’s faithful mindset

Lives led by His commandments

Follow now, never forget

Divine love is perfect peace and joy, it is a freedom from all disquiet, it is all content and happiness; and makes everything to rejoice in itself.

From 2 Peter 1:4-7:  “Thus He has given us, through these things, His precious and very great promises, so that through them you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of lust, and may become participants of the divine nature.  For this very reason, you must make every effort to support your faith with goodness, and goodness with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with endurance, and endurance with godliness, and godliness with mutual affection, and mutual affection with love.”

With joy, singing life’s new song

Lifting up voices, filled with praise

Hailing Father’s steadfast love

Let our eyes to Heaven gaze

 

Our Lord does marvelous things

Victorious in His deeds

Judging world with righteousness

Tirelessly His Spirit leads

 

Earth’s faithful hearts shall rejoice

Accepting His love and grace

Forever praise God’s presence

Darkness, never will we chase

 

Ageless joy recites God’s Word

Life’s solid foothold responds

Promises backed up by trust

Faith, hope, love form lasting bonds

 

Guide every daily step

Reigning from Heaven above

With Son and Holy Spirit

From God comes lasting love

Scanning heavens above

Creation’s North Star glows

Lighting vast galaxies

Love ignites us to grow

 

God’s love shines among us

Brighter than any star

Abiding in each child

Overcoming life’s scars

 

Father’s love leading us

Peace and justice shall reign

Fearlessly, tirelessly

Healing hearts without pain

 

Christ sent by His Father

God comes to earth as Man

Spirit walking with grace

Love ignites us, Lord’s plan

From 1 John 4:18-19:  “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love.  We love because He first loved us.”
