He Will Never Leave Me Nor Forsake Me

praying
knowing

faith is 
growing

blessings
flowing

Scripture
reading 

God’s Word
heeding

Spirit 
leading

my soul
feeding 

on the 
right road

such a
light load

God’s peace
bestowed

*******
tide is 
turning

feelings
churning

anguish
burning

trouble
knocking

Satan
mocking

faith is
shaken

peace is
taken

*******
life can
plunge me

from the 
mountain

to the
valley

God can 
lift me

from the 
valley 

to the 
mountain

dwelling
with me

at each
level

of the
spectrum
