Metronome of Mercy!

 I need to listen to this song on a regular basis; it keeps me grounded!

 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? ³⁶ (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) ³⁷ No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
³⁸ And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. ³⁹ No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Rom.8:35-39

How kind, the promises of God

His Word consoles our dread with cheer

Unknown is not a cruel rod

Nor does it paralyze with fear

Because we sense His presence near

How faithful is the Word of He

Who never leaves us or forsakes

But honors love’s humility

And grants exactly what it takes

To see us through life’s groans and aches

How perfect are the ways of He

Whose love no thought can comprehend

Or fathom with mortality

That without Beginning or End

With which each soul will soon contend

How righteous is the will of God

In spite of what we understand

Our numbered days on earthy sod

Are but the Throughway to a Land

Beyond time’s sorrow-stricken strand

How Changeless is the hand of He

Who rules this scope of day and night

Who was, IS and will ever be

The one true God of Hope and light

And after death, eternal life

How endless is I AM, then pray

For ears to hear and eyes to see

So we may find The Only Way

From death to life eternally

Through He who died for you and me
