Within My Heart
by Barbara Philbrook

Within my heart there is a peace that is so comforting and true,
Lord I want to say thank you and give you the praise that is due you.

I read in your word that if I brought  my troubles and tribulations to you,
that you would provide a peace that passeth understanding and that's exactly what you do.

There have been trials that if I had needed to face them all on my own,
I would have broken down of this I'm certain my weaknesses I'd been shown.

Lord it never ceases to amaze me the extent that you are willing to go to,
when we read in your Holy Word and follow the guidance  sent to us by you.

Faith another of the gifts that you lovingly made for our use,
when we may not have enough we can ask for more and immediately more faith you produce.

You made the plan of salvation and wrote it in your word,
and without a doubt it is the most beautiful love story anyone has ever heard.

Now all one has to do is to believe that what they read is true,
that you are the Father Jesus is your Son and that The Holy Spirit  will move in and make us anew.

There is no price to pay no one can get to Heaven in that way,
we just believe what  is written the price for us He already did  pay.

Lord I am so eternally grateful for all that you do,
and I choose to surrender myself that in some way I can bring Honor and Glory to you.

Take whatever there is left to this life that I know,
and make me an instrument by which others can see your love and immediately choose surrender as the way to go.

I burn inside with this intense desire to let others learn what I have learned about you,
then they too will want to be on the bandwagon telling others what they also can do!
