Blessed be the Lord,
Who daily loads us with benefits,
The God of our salvation!
Selah
20 Our God is the God of salvation;
And to God the Lord belong escapes from death.
Psalm 68:19-20
So much sorrow, beyond our grasp of reason
but our God is the God of salvation!
To His loving kindness we cling!
Surely, His goodness and mercy will follow us
all the days of our lives!
(Psalm 23:6)
Sometimes our hearts break with our own sorrows.
Often our hearts hurt for another's hurt!
We have in common One who loves us all!
From one deeply hurting this week returned this meek reply.
'we want to trust that God can provide what is needed'
Amen and hallelujah
What gentle joy God sendeth
No step He does not see
On all the way that wendeth
To the soul’s destiny
No tear He does not tally
No storm He cannot still
No God-forsaken valley
No God-forsaken hill
No prayer He does not reckon
Where disappointments try
Where want and worry beckon
He whispers ‘here am I’
No gain He has not granted
No loss He has not known
No seed, when it is planted
He does not see is sown
No hurt He has not suffered
No matter what we face
The blows of life are buffered
With His sufficient grace
No temptation’s vice greater
No trickery too sly
To confound the Creator
Of earth and sea and sky
What gentle joy God sendeth
Where mercy’s fathoms brim
To cheer the way that wendeth
From this world back to Him
