" FOR THIS I HAVE JESUS "
When the load grows too heavy,
and my way is so unclear;
my heart is over~burden'd with
uncertainty and fear.
When I feel so all alone,
and night is closing in;
I'm yearning for the comfort
of a kind and loving friend.
"For This I Have Jesus"
who has promised to be;
A present help in trouble,
The "Way~Maker" ~ for me.
Who will carry each burden,
pressing me SO low;
Be my mighty, strong Tower,
that security I may know.
Who never berates me nor
weaknesses condemns;
BUT ~ enfolds me in Compassion,
draws me closer to Him.
Dries the tears of self ~ reproach,
that my eyes may clearer see;
As I hear Him gently whisper,
"My, child, for this you have Me".
Then doubts are displaced by
His reassuring touch;
And, such warmth floods my heart,
to know He loves me so much.
Mercy floats from His sweet Voice,
breathing Peace to troubled mind:
" For This I Have Jesus"
and, for cares of any kind !
