In A World of Hate
by Barbara Philbrook

In a world of hate that is raging wild,
I am calm for I'm Your beloved child.

There is nothing that can happen to me,
over which You will not have victory.

Nothing can separate me from Your love,
and one day I'll reside with You above.

Satan nor his motley crew,
will never be able to steal me from You.

I can rest in confidence and pride,
knowing one day I'll with You reside.

I need not quiver nor shake in fear,
for I am assured You are always near.

I don't even have to worry over past sin,
they were covered in the Blood when I invited You in.

There is changing that must take place,
but that too is supplied by Your loving grace.

Accept and surrender are the parts I play,
then I am to lean on You the rest of the way.

In a world of hate in which many are defiled,
I can say "Thank You Father I'm Your beloved child".
