My
Strength and Refuge
by
Barbara Philbrook
My
strength and refuge during the storms of life,
or during trials, temptations or simply daily strife.
Is my
loving Savior whom I accepted into my heart,
and I am assured He will never depart.
No longer
overcome by sadness during trials you see,
because I know my Savior stands beside me.
No longer
tempted beyond what I can bear,
because when I call, my Savior will always hear.
I can not
be lied to and told I am unworthy,
I know my Savior has suffered and died for me.
No
mountain is too high because I do not climb it alone,
My God is forever and my strength is His own.
Sickness
and pain shall be healed by His stripes,
so I have nothing about which to moan or gripe.
I have not
been given a spirit of fear,
instead faith and confidence is what does appear.
My
strength and refuge are gifts you see,
that my loving Father provides for me.
I have
been given enough to get me through,
and if you invite Him in you will have enough too.
