a spiritual journey
• Written by Whiteboy4ever
No matter what happens in my life,
Sorrow or joy, rain or shine,
Whatever befalls me, it's all right
Because in Jesus I abide.
With His presence, He shelters me
From many dangers all too real.
Like a lamb, He carries me
Over steep hill and stormy sea.
In the midst of pain and hurt,
When I feel confused and stirred,
To Jesus I can always turn
And find solace in His Word.
His is the only voice I hear,
So familiar and so dear.
I know that I can trust in Him,
So to Him alone I cling.
Jesus keeps me from going astray;
I'll always follow in His way.
Forever loved, secure and safe,
I stand in His amazing grace.
Rest, my soul, in God's love
as you live every day.
Relax in His faithfulness
as you go along your way.
Embrace other's happiness.
Share with those in need.
Seek peace with your neighbors,
both in words and deed.
Take things nice and easy.
Be glad for all you've got;
Not so fast and furious
griping on those you do not.
Fix your attention on God
and not so much on others.
Your times are in His hands;
that is all that matters.
Note to self, oh my soul:
As you do the best you can,
learn not to get upset
when things don't go according to plan.
Relax in God's goodness.
You know His ways are sublime.
He is never in a hurry
but is always on time.
God's love sets me free.
This is my victory song.
His grace is sufficient for me.
It is what keeps me strong.
For I'm no perfect man,
And on my own cannot prevail.
Sometimes doing the best I can,
Even will seem to no avail.
Had my share of heartaches,
Sometimes wondering to what end.
Made my share of mistakes.
Over this, I can't pretend.
The struggles may increase,
But it's no cause for alarm.
God's thoughts to me are of peace,
To nurture and not to harm.
I forge on quite resolved.
God's at work in me for the best.
I am flawed but fiercely loved,
And He is not finished yet.
God's perfect plan for me,
I may not fully understand.
But trusting, obeying, I'm grateful to be,
Handled in His loving hand.
