the joy of the Lord is my strength
When I see the fury of the law which I cannot appease
I’m tempted to fear and feel my soul doubting in unbelief
but at that point the righteous Judge looks to me and says
don’t be afraid, for in My strength, you’ll find sweet joy and rest.
The joy of the Lord has become my strength
in place of [...]

my life right now

serene and tranquil
May 5, 1789. So full is my dependence on divine Providence, so strong is my faith that God will give what is good, and do what is best for me—that my mind is serene and tranquil. James Meikle

for He is good
You are my God, and I will give you thanks;
you are my God, and I will exalt you.
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.

my hope
Here I am again
In this raging sea
On my knees again
Deep calls to deep
I feel I’m drowning
My arms are
Just too tired to swim
I feel like I’m sinking
On my knees again
In the roar of Your waterfall
In the storm of You
May You find me holding on
May You find me true
Chorus:
And I put my hope
And I put my trust
And [...]

Lord, you are gracious
You do not treat us
as our sins deserve
though we are guilty as charged
Your Son was treated
as if responsible
for all my sin.
Lord, you are gracious
Lord you are compassionate
Slow to anger, rich in love
Lord you are.
Your Son was perfect
Blamelesness itself
Father You turned your face away
You bruised and crushed Him
That I might know your grace
for all my days
Lord, [...]

He never will leave
I have been greatly comforted lately by the promise and hope that my God will never leave, never forsake, never dissapoint and never abandon me.
Several months ago, I began dating a wonderful man of God and have been greatly blessed and encouraged by his deep love for God and his tender care for me. But [...]
