Jesus You Are

Jesus you are my saving grace
My coach preparing me for life’s race
My refuge through life’s raging storm
Mending all that is tattered and torn

You are my forever guiding light
When my way grows dark as the night
My anchor in truth, who keeps me grounded
Through trials and tribulations I am surrounded 

You are contentment of all my days
Among a world that has lost its way
My joy where everlasting peace abides
In times of trouble, my shelter my fear abides

You are the constant and steady beat of my heart
My shield from the enemy’s fiery darts
You are the melody my spirit sings
Praise and worship to you I bring

You are my strength when I become weak
The answer to the question that I seek
The solid rock on which I stand
Protected from life’s sinking sands

You are the wisdom that prepares my mind
My eyes can see that once was blind
My redeemer who ransomed my soul
Freed from the chains of Satan’s control

You are my courage to face the battle
In victory you leave my enemies rattled
My constant hope in days of doubt 
In distress, an escape, my way out 

You are my comforter collecting my tears
Relieving my mind of constant fear
Living water to my dying soul
A friend forever while ages roll

You are my intercessor to God carrying my pleas
You are all that I will ever need
In your name, I do pray
Jesus you are more to me than words can say

You found me and loved me first
Even at my very worst
Your death, my salvation, I can never repay
Through my failures you choose to stay
 
On the cross my eternal home was gained 
Because your love for me was greater than your pain
With all that is within me, I shout your praise
Jesus, you are and always will be, my Amazing Grace

Absolutely superb Donetta, a really great write on God's characters showing Jesus in all his glory. You could take each character and have great Bible study on each of them. Also shows great rhyme and flow too. Great stuff, Blessings, Gordon
