Come Here, My Dear, and Have No Fear

Come here, my dear, and have no fear I’m Your fortress* from woeful stress My love’s caress relieves distress Offering cheer midst day that’s drear To bless you well with good success. Here’s my heart, Lord; strong trust, impart Do brace me by Your mercy’s grace For faith-work start, divinely smart To win life’s race of evil trace Shield me from sin-thwart and doubts’ dart As Your truth rays brighten my praise.
*Psalm 91:2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. February 5, 2020 Chosen theme: "Come here, my dear, and have no fear." 1st place, "Rhyme Time 8" Poetry Contest Sponsored by Lu Loo; judged on 2/23/2020.
