I call upon your promises Lord

a hurting world needs your Word

"I will never leave you nor forsake you."

I stand fast in my faith with trust

I know You always do what You must

Mark 13:7 "When you hear of wars and

rumors of wars, do not be troubled for

such things must happen, but the end

is not yet" ( Matthew24:6 Luke 21:9 )

When we turn away from Your grace

we cannot bear the things we face

Isaiah 41:10 "Fear not for I am with you

be not dismayed for I am your God."

Your love cannot be shaken it is steadfast

How can we love as you do, to have it last

1 John 4:18 "There is no fear in love; but

perfect love casts out fear, because fear

inolves torment, but he who fears has not

been made perfect in love."

Here I recall Your words, through David's voice

Psalm 139:7-16

7 "Where can I go from your Spirit?

Or where can I flee from Your presence?

8 If I ascend into the heavens You are there

If I make my bed in hell, behold you are there

9 If I take the wings of the morning and dwell

in the uttermost parts of the sea

10 Even there Your hand shall lead me, and your

right hand shall hold me

11 If I say," Surely the darkness shall fall on me,"

even the night shall be light about me;

12 Indeed the darkness shall not hide from You

but the night shines as the day, the darkness

and the light are both alike to You

13 For you have formed my inward parts: you

have covered me in my mother's womb

I will praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully

made, marvelous are Your works, and that my soul

knows very well

15 My frame was not hidden from You, when I was

made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest

parts of the earth

16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed

and in Your book they all were written, the days

fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them!"

Proverbs 8:17 " God says; "I love those who love Me.

Those who seek me diligently will find Me!"
