Songs In The Night

In Jesus In the world, tribulation; but in Jesus - peace; The heart of the whirlwind where its roarings cease, A little home waiting, still and light and warm, A safe sanctuary from the night and storm. In the world, tribulation; but in Jesus - rest; A sure place of refuge for the sore-opprest, A guarded pavilion no device can take, A strong-walled fortress no assault can shake. In the world, tribulation; but in Jesus - joy; A full cup of gladness that can never cloy, A sweet fountain rising out of Marah's tide, A spring of rejoicing that is never dried. In the world, tribulation; but in Jesus - peace; A deep, quiet harbor where the high waves cease, A long-desired haven on a friendly shore, Where the wild winds of oceans sweep the soul no more. In the world, tribulation, trials all around, For on earth no resting and no joys are found; Let us flee to Jesus where all sorrows cease; Here alone is gladness, here alone is peace. ~Annie Johnson Flint~ John 16:33 These things I have spo...

Disappointment - His Appointment "Disappointment - His appointment," Change one letter, then I see That the thwarting of my purpose Is God's better choice for me. His appointment must be a blessing, Though it may come in disguise, For the end from the beginning Open to His wisdom lies. "Disappointment - His appointment," Whose? The Lord, who loves me best, Understands and knows me fully, Who my faith and love would test; For, like a loving earthly parent, He rejoices when He knows That His child accepts, unquestioned, All that from His wisdom flows. "Disappointment - His appointment," "No good thing will He withhold," From denials oft we gather Treasures of His love untold, Well He knows each broken purpose Leads to fuller, deeper trust, And the end of all His dealings Proves our God is wise and just. "Disappointment - His appointment," Lord, I take it, then, as such. Like the clay in hands of potter, Yielding wholly to Thy touch. A...

My Bible And I We've traveled together through life's rugged way, O'er land and over water, by night and by day: To travel without it I never would try, We keep close together, my Bible and I. In sorrow I've proved it my comfort and joy, When weak my strong tower which nought can destroy; When death comes so near me 'tis thought I would die, We still are together, my Bible and I. If powers of evil against me would come, And threaten to rob me of heaven and home, God's Word then directs me to Him in the sky; And nothing can part us, my Bible and I. When evil temptations are brought to my view, And I in my weakness know not what to do, On Christ as my strength I am taught to rely; And so we keep company, my Bible and I. When life's path is ended; if Jesus should come And take all His blood-purchased children home; Or if, in long suffering, He waits till I die, We'll never be parted, my Bible and I. And when in the glory my Lord I behold, With all His redee...
