He promises to hear while we're yet speaking
And answer us before we're even calling.
His mercy is so bountious to His children.
I waver but His grace keeps me from falling.
Life's filled with much confusion,doubt & turmoil,
And when I find our closeness start to dim
He finds a way to show me He still loves me
And does His best to steady me again.
He may use circumstances harsh and bitter,
or gentle prompting from His precious Word.
He somehow gives assurance He is with me.
My sleeping spirit once again is stirred.
Not only is He with us, He is FOR us.
He'll let none stop us in our upward climb.
The purpose is to see us strong and faithful.
A soldier till the end is His design.
No weapon that is formed against God's children
Can prosper in the hands of all their foes.
We see a little time span in the present..
But God will make us win through trials & woes.
He then reminds us all things work together
For our own good, for blessing in the end,
He doesn't want to hurt us or destroy us.
He's fighting for us and He will defend.
He doesn't give us over to our own way
As soon as we have failed or cannot see.
He deals with us as sons, with mercy, kindness.
He understands and helps us lovingly.
O Lord, please help me be content and willing
To take each step by faith without foresight.
Please show me clearly when and how to take them
And give me grace to keep on in the flight.
