Rejoice! The Lord Is King ... Forever!

Today, I Deny My Eyes

I Rebuke My Ears
And

I Castigate My Skin

Because

I've Given My Fears To Christ Jesus

And

He Does My Every Burden Bear!

I Have The Holy Spirit For My Comfort

And

For My Walking Stick Importunate Prayer

And

Because I've Given My Heart To My Jesus

War Against Doubt And Disbelief Has Been Declared!

I Could Take The Low Road And Linger At 

"What If!?!" 

     And 
             "Maybe!?!" 
                  And 
                                  "Can He Do ...!?!"

But

I've Gone All In With The Source And Strength Of My Life

And

Dear One, I Suggest That You Do The Same Thing, Too!

Built On The Rock Of Ages

Standing Upon Truth

Sheltered By Grace For The Day

Attended By Mercy For Me And For You

I Listen To The Still Small Voice

I Harken To The Word 
And 
Obey The Call To Enduring Faith

And

The Call To Know And Understand 
That Jesus Is With Me All The Way To Home

That Holy Angels Guard And Influence Me

To Do The Good And The Right That 
Does Eternal Dividends Pay

That Pilgrims Have Travel Problems

That Sinners Must Become Saints

That Self Must Be Subdued
And

That Runners For The Crown Of Life

Pray And Don't Faint! 

I'm Passing Through This Vale Of Tears
And

I've Got A Friend Who Blesses Me 
And 
Willingly Does My Every Burden Bear!

I've Got A King Who Is Loving And Kind

And

I've Got At My Trembling Side

The God Of Glory Who Is All-Knowing

All-Seeing

Ever-Present 

Holy

Good

Divine
And

With Him By My Side, I Rise

Because

We Are To Highest Heaven Unfalteringly

Unswervingly

Unabashedly Inclined! 

Being Faithful To Him, Alone

Who For My Sin, By Blood, Did Atone

In The Fullness Of Time That

He, Alone, Knows 

I Shall Cross The Separating Line! 

My Faith In The Lord Christ, By His Grace
Through The Working Of The Holy Spirit
Is 
Squarely Fixed On Him! 

Where There Is Life, There Is Hope

And 
The Hope That Rests In Jesus Christ 
Does Not Cause Shame 
Because 
He Will Deliver On All Of The Promises Made 
To Us Who Choose To Believe In Him 
And 
Say: "Yes, Lord! AMEN!" 
And 
Patiently Await Their Fulfillment! 

Our God Is Gracious
And 
Ever-Present
And 
Participates In All That Concerns Us
And 
No Child Of This Great King 
Should Walk Around, Head Down ... Defeated
Despairing
Anxious About What A Lying Man 
Or A Murderous Fallen Angel Can Do To Him: 
We Are Not Alone! 

Boundaries Are Set By Our God Who Says: 

"So Far And No Farther!" 

The Lord Is With Us 
And 
There Is Nothing That He Brings Us To That 
He Cannot Carry Us Through! 

Beloved,

Dare To Believe The Promise!
Dare To Exercise Your Gift Of Faith!
Dare To Trust God's Love For You
And 
Confidently Rest In Hope! 
Joy Comes In The Morning! 

Harvest Celebration On The Great Day 
Is 
On The Way! 
Hold On: Unceasingly Pray! 

PRAYER:Lord, Lead Me Home!

Father,

I Love You!

I Thank You!

I Bless Your Holy Name!

Please Give Me Utterance

Your Loving Goodness To Proclaim!

The Beloved Left Eternity
To Come And Dwell With Us In Time
To Personally Give To Me The Opportunity
To Dwell With You In Paradise:
The Thought, Lord, Is Sublime!

To Know My Father Loves Me
To Know He Wants Me To Live With Him At Home
To Know That I Have Forgiveness
Because
For Me
My Jesus Did Atone
Is A Gift Beyond Measure
As The Price Paid Was Beyond Pain!
The Blessing Is Tremendous!
Father,
Help Me To No More Make You Of Me Ashamed!

I Desire Fellowship With You, Father!
I Desire Communion With The Lamb!
I Desire A Perfect Walk In The Spirit
Please Help Me, In You, For Love Of The Savior
Mightily To Stand!

I Cannot Ever Repay You For Your Sacrifice
But
I Can Place On The Altar Sacrifice 

My Stubborn Will To Sin!
I Can Give Unto You My Self!
I Can Cling To The Rock Of Ages
And Sing "Faith Is The Victory!"
As I To The Glorious Hill Zion Am Daily Walking!

I Cannot Say It Enough:

I Love You, Lord!
I Bless Your Name!
Please Help Me To Reach For The Holy Hand Extended
So That To Sin I Am Not A Dog Tame!

Forgive Me Of My Trespasses!
Forgive For The Times Your Name I Did Profane!
I Confess, Lord!
I Am Sorry!
Help Me Never Ever Again
Your Sovereignty To Disdain!

I'm A Child!
I'm A Student!
I'm A Servant Of God Willing
And I'm Determined, Dear Father
At The End Of All Things
To Claim That Most Precious Reward

For I By Grace Am Fighting

Against The Ways Of Satan

The Known And Wily Fraud!

Help Me To Tell A Brother
A Sister
A Child
A Friend
That Jesus Christ Saves
And That He Is Preparing Homes

In Your Beautiful House For Us

Who Love The Holy Name

And Endure All Things For Our Jesus!

Father,

Please Help Us To Him To Cling
Like A Limpet

And
To Bless Our Brethren And Not Curse

And

To Deny The Liar

And

To Never Place On The Altar Strange Fire
So That The Curse Upon Mankind
In Our Lives
May Forever Be Reversed!

Oh, The Joy Of The Thought:

Fellowship With The Father!
Fellowship With The Son

And The Holy Spirit Indwelling!

Fellowship With The Holy Angels
And, Personally
With The One Angel Who Was With Me
As The Race To Soul Salvation
I Did Run

And
Fellowship With The Family Of God
Of All The Ages!
The Lord Be Praised For

The Blessedness
Which Shall Never Be Called Done!

Lord, Lead Me On!

Lord, Lead Me Home!

Lord, Lead Me Day By Day!

I Need You

As I Have No Desire To Indulge The Folly Of

Own-Sin Self-Pay!

I Pray These Few Petitions

In The Name Of The Lowly Jesus

He About Whom Is The Gospel

The Good News Story

And

Is Now Alive Forevermore
