Just a closer walk with CHRIST
Suffering brings us closer to our LORD GOD,
It is when we acknowledge our weakness
and depend on HIS GREATNESS,
That we experience HIS power working for us;
Then when we are weak, we become strong
For it is HIS strength that sustains us.
In suffering, our ears are more attuned to HIS words of comfort,
‘Be not afraid, I am with you always’
We lean not on our own understanding,
But to HIS wise counsel and promises inclining;
We more readily accept HIS HOLY WILL
For our lives, trusting that in all things
Almighty GOD works for the good
Of those who love HIM.
CHRIST walks closely to those who love HIM,
HE extends HIS GRACE
Love and strength for each new day;
Patience, power of endurance in place,
Our spirit of faith is renewed
Deepening our loving gratitude.
Christ is a faithful GOD
Like a father, He defends, shields and protects His children,
Like a mother, HE hides us under the shelter of HIS wings;
Like a shepherd, HE uses HIS rod and staff to chase away ravenous wolves;
As our REDEEMER, CHRIST is our LIGHT and SALVATION,
As Almighty GOD sees CHRIST in us,
CHRIST makes possible our eternal resurrection.
