"THE CRY OF OUR HEARTS!"
© 1999 Patricia L. Carpenter
{Poem Book 7}
The cry of our hearts for ' FREEDOM '
to dwell in this Land of ours,
May come at great cost to us ~
to 'die to self' ~ this hour.
Relying on 'CHRIST' alone
'yielding' to His Will,
Allowing Him to give ~
in our hearts ~ 'Peace be still'! *
A 'Peace' that passes understanding *
right in the midst of a storm,
Knowing He's on 'our' side
as we 'Hope in CHRIST', so warm.
I don't know how you feel
but Jesus does, my friend, *
And only He can Lead you through *
right to the very end.
Rely upon Him for 'strength'
with your 'confidence' in God,
For only He can Guide you ~
to win ~ upon this sod.
Let Him wrap His Arms around you ~ *
give you 'wisdom' from above, *
While you 'stay close' beside Him ~
'Resting' on ~ The Son of LOVE!
* Mk.4:39; Phil.4:7; Is.53:3; Ps.23:4; Gal.3:27;
Pv.2:3-5. 8/6/99
