Heartbreak; It's all around us!
The world groans!
God's Spirit if we ask/trust Him
will intercede with unshakeable hope
Hope; it's above us, beneath us and hems us in on every side
It lifts us up on eagle wings.
It is no magic cure for life's ills and aches
but it is strength, joy and peace in the thick of them!
It is love's/God's gift to us when we put our trust in Him.
Isa.40:31 NIV
but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Remember your word to your servant,
for you have given me hope.
Come Holy Spirit, intercede
Anoint my fumbling quest
And through redemption's favours plead
On my behalf, Thy best/the rest
Come, Holy Spirit, stir my soul
To hope in Thee alone
As I relinquish full control
With this; Thy will be done
Once I, a woman at the well
Would vainly draw and draw
But could not satisfy or quell
My thirst with loot or law
Until, my Lord, You bid me come
To trust and taste and see
The Living Water flowing from
The fount of Calvary
The Fount that drew Thee from Thy throne
Hope's groaning breach to span
To be the Lamb that would atone
And save the soul of man
To rend the temple's veil and then
To overthrow the grave
You crushed the serpent's head. Amen
With love, mighty to save
Come, Holy Spirit, intercede
With discipline divine
Till Gethsemane-like groans concede
Not my will, Lord, but Thine
Come, Holy Spirit, intercede
Until 'then, face to face'
I hear Thy final verdict plead
Salvation's gift of grace
And then forevermore to lift
My voice, with ceaseless breath
To praise the Giver of love's gift
That saved my soul from death
Janet Martin
John 11:25-26
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life.
He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.
Do you believe this?”
