My heart praises the Almighty God
basking in His wondrous love and compassion
assured with His trustworthy promise:
“… I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”*

With gratefulness to the omnipotent Lord
my soul cleaves to Him and to His immutable truth
while overcoming doubt, fear, despair with His presence
reverberating “Peace I leave with you…”** 

My spirit finds strength in my Saviour’s upholding might
to surmount trials prayerfully along life’s race
while enabled with His goodness for stewardship glow
serving Him in ministering to others as a blessing
trusting His wisdom: “Abide in me… for without me ye can do nothing.”***  

Now and forever, I am the heavenly Father's precious child
granted with divine nature to please Him by faith
so while awaiting Christ's coming, I strive to live for His glory
testifying: “The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.”****

*Hebrews 13:5: … for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
**John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
***John 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
****2Samuel 22:47 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
