And That Believing We...


 But these are written that you may believe[a] 
that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, 
and that by believing you may have life in his name.
John 20:31 



….and that believing we have life through His eternal name
Amidst this world’s trouble and strife we have hope without shame
No matter what mankind may do they cannot touch the soul
If we believe we have the pow’r of faith to make us whole
A joy unshakeable, though all else shakes our confidence
We know that we are able through Calvary’s consequence
He who suffered on our behalf for forgiveness of sins
Will never leave us Comfortless in this world’s sufferings
For we have the assurance in the trials that we meet
They forge firmer endurance so that faith may be complete
…and that believing we learn to be constant in our prayers
As we fix humbled yearning beyond this world’s sad affairs
Where joy we count comes from a fount they cannot comprehend
Until Belief opens our eyes we are like lost, blind men
But then, believing we receive the reason Jesus came  
To give life more abundantly through His eternal name

in these darker days of health and economy!
May all who are seeking find
joy and peace through
Jesus' Name;
The True Light and Life-giver!


Romans 8:18-21 

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing 
with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. 
For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, 
but because of him who subjected it, i
n hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption 
and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God...
