Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Lord Our God Great and Gracious

Lord our God, great and gracious
we look to you our certain hope
for you know all our concerns
help us to trust holding your rope

Fill us, Lord, with real living faith
a faith that will make mountains move
even a little mustard seed will do it
for you're able always, you will prove

Lord, in your love you've shown mercy
sending Jesus as our sacrificial lamb
taking our sins to Calvary's cross
love divine as our healing balm

(This is a personal prayer to encourage us all at this difficult time to fill us with Hope,  Faith and Love.)

Judy Ball April 21, 2020 at 11:35 AM A wonderful prayer of faith Gordon. We must never lose our faith because that is a sin. This is so encouraging a real reminder of all He has done and all He will do if we remain faithful to Him. Remember that as we encourage others we also encourage ourselves as well. Love this.
