Your Everlasting Hope

Be sure to be content in God
have no envy for the sinful lost
for their judgement will surely come
then their sin will surely be cost

True wisdom is to fear the Lord
continually and fully all the day
live reverently under His hand
learning to obey all He does say

This is a sure and certain future
for God's promises are forever true
His way for His own are always good
such is our assurance for God to do

The Lord gives us HIs divine blessings
for a sure and a truly certain hope
this from everlasting to everlasting
always hanging on to heaven's rope

This heavenly hope is divinely sent
coming down from Lord's gracious hand
trust Him fully for each and every day
till we cross Jordan onto Canaan's land



(Let not your heart envy sinners,
   but continue in the fear of the Lord all the day.
Surely there is a future,
   and your hope will not be cut off.)
Proverbs 23: 17,18 (esv)

I have been attending hospital since November in relation to prostate problems when had biopsy which showed 5% cancer but trusting in God to heal.. Blessings Gordon
