He Loves Me

When I have no strength to stand

And I cannot understand

Why the Lord allows such suffering in my life,

I’m reminded in God’s Word

That my prayers will all be heard

And He’ll see me through each heartache,

Pain and strife.

When I’ve failed to meet some test

And my heart can find no rest,

And I feel o’erwhelmed, defeated, and alone.

Then, the Spirit’s still small voice

Shows me how I can rejoice

For the cleansing, with repentance,

I have known.

When a friend becomes a foe

And my problems seem to grow,

And my pure intentions are misunderstood;

Jesus calms my doubts and fears’

And He dries away my tears

While He turns things, planned against me,

Into good.

If I read God’s Word each day

And I trust Him and obey,

And keep in constant touch with Him in prayer,

I can win against each foe

And His peace my life will show,

For He loves me and He’ll keep me

In His care.

“What incredible love the Father has lavished on us that we should be called the children of God! And that is what we are… beloved, here and now we are God’s children; it is not yet disclosed what we shall be but we know that when He appears we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He really is! Everyone who has this hope purifies himself just as He is pure.” 1 John 3:1-3
