God Is For You

I am writing you, dear one
For I have a word for you.
It is the joy of Christ the Son,
To perfect you through and through.

Do not question, leave all fear;
Don’t complain of what you lack.
Your design will become clear,
Seen from heaven looking back.

Every detail, every hair
He made with you in mind.
Remember He is always there;
Ever loving, always kind.

When the enemy attacks
And you find yourself agreeing;
You're in Christ, so nothing lacks
And His Plan, you are not seeing.

Praise Him, Praise Him!
He is working for your good.
Trust Him daily, enter in
And you will see things as you should. 

Recognize that you're His child
And your God delights in you!
He is love, He’s meek and mild
And His gaze is pure and true.

You need to stop all condemnation
When you’re tempted to complain.
You need to take consideration;
Of the power in His name!

In your tongue is life and death.
Profess what God exclaims!
God gave you life and breath:
Heaven’s best in Jesus name.

Rejoice always, thank Him too
He works relentlessly on you.
Through all you say and do
He will lead you safely through.

He’s the ever present Shepherd
Who will lead or even carry
Everyone, from King to leper,
Though at times He seems to tarry.

We have this great assurance
That the Lord will never leave us.
There’s no better life insurance
Than His Son who died to free us.
