The
Rope
Of Hope |
I've reached
the end of my
rope,
My nerves are
shattered.
My composure
is shrieking,
I am
incomplete,
unable to
cope.
This is when
the darkness
sets in,
My hope is in
Jesus Christ.
He is my
Savior and
Friend,
He guides me
when I'm in a
tailspin.
Would I just
realize the
truth of
striving,
Reading the
Bible and
God's Word.
Verses to
sustain me
through,
The dark times
of life I am
surviving.
Awakening to
my buried
common sense,
I put on the
armor of God.
Knowing where
my strength
comes from,
Being
courageous
with no
offenses.
I am not alone
even when
distraught,
My good does
come from God.
He is without
and within me,
Protecting me
as I was
taught.
So how could I
be so
single-minded,
I have the
Savior, God
himself.
And the Holy
Spirit who
directs me,
My eyes and
mind were
simply
blinded.
Now I sing a
different
joyous song,
My voice is
raised up so
loud.
Praising,
glorifying my
Holy, Loving
God,
Who tells me I
am His, I
belong.
