My Refuge

How strong is your refuge?
Can your refuge withstand against all odds, against any arrow,
Any blow, storm, circumstance, any collapse of systems?

Is your refuge constant?
Constant in the hard times and good times?
Constant in the danger and the peace?
Constant when you fail and when you succeed?
Constant no matter what?

Is your refuge big enough, strong enough, wise enough?

The Lord is my refuge
He is strong, He is good.
He is constantly by my side.
My refuge fights my enemies and delivers me...
My refuge offers me peace,
He offers me safety,
He offers me protection, grace, and wisdom.

My refuge loves me... knows me...
My refuge is like none other!!!

Always Willing

Always willing to bend down
Always willing to listen to my cry
Always willing to bring me out of the muddy pit
Always willing to set my feet on the Rock
And give me the firm foundation of Your love, Your peace.

You never withhold Your tender care from me
You insist on embracing me with Your unfailing love
Your truth shines brightly to lead the way and protect me.

Even when trouble presses in from all sides
And my iniquities weigh me down again
When courage forsakes me
And my eyesight becomes cloudy
You are there.

And You do it again...willingly, cheerfully, and extravagantly
You pull me up
Set me firm
Embrace me with Your love
Putting a song once again on my lips.. and gladness in my heart...

So patient You are God
As I learn this process of trusting...

How patient You are
As I learn that only You,
And only trusting You
Can lead me to true happiness and contentment.

I am Crowned

I have a crown on  my head today
It's a crown of the Lords love and tenderness...
He places it on me because I belong to Him...
He delights in me
He has good plans for me...a good future...
Today..tomorrow...and the next day and the next...

You have one too
For the same reason
He delights in you, my friend.
Today is a good day!!

Psalms 103:4 "He crowns me with His love and tenderness!"
