Jesus,My Ever-Present Refuge,
Jesus,
My ever-present refuge,
Written:By Tom Wright
3/23/99
I have rested in Jesus', shadow
come the heat of my life's day.
I have carefully traced His footprints
knowing deep within , He was the way.
He has never ever deserted me
though trying times, to me, have come.
Always sticking closer than any brother
quite contrary to the manner of some.
When my life has been at crossroads
and I've felt within, discouraged or blue.
I was always consoled by the knowledge
that Jesus, Himself, had been there too.
When all my hope seemed to vanish
because by, Satan, I was tempted sore.
In Jesus' shadow I quickly sought solace
knowing my need for Him was more.
So many times from our carnal decisions
We cause those who care to grieve.
While in the midst of life, storms rage
and we oft lack faith simply to believe.
It's in this our lack, Jesus, is sorrowed
by carnal things we do and say.
Let's each pray daily for our measure of grace
always seeking His will and never our way.
