Asking God to strengthen me in the midst of trials and circumstances.

Strengthen Me
Your mercy holds,
Your love told,
In all the world Your love is shown.
And from me You never go.
Though I don’t deserve Your grace,
You forgive because Jesus took my place.
You see not my old sins, only His perfect face,
And no more are my sins traced.
You deserve all my praise,
All the love my heart attains.
Your arm is always strong,
Even when things go so wrong.
I need You Father,
Strengthen me and allow me not to wander.
Hold my hand so I can get through another storm,
In this imperfect world keep my heart warm.
I hold on to Your Word,
Knowing that coming to my rescue is my Lord.
When life gets me down,
I need to be found.
Though this world is imperfect and scary,
You are perfect and You will not tarry.
Thank You for this time with You,
The only way I can get through

    Yes, this world is imperfect, but with him we don’t need to be afraid. We are his sheep, whom he take care of. However, we have to remember to say thank you on a daily basis, for his love and care. I like this piece.

    Melinda, you have a gift of taking deep truth and putting it into poetic form. I am so glad that you chose not to dwell in inaction and self pity, but that you are choosing to share and to encourage us.
    God bless you!
