Music

I hear music when it is not there.
I listen and it becomes a prayer.
For where ‘ere Thy spirit resides
There the music in my soul abides.

I hear music lying down at night.
It doth settle me down aright.
For t’is the Spirit’s gentle way
I’m sure t’is calling me to pray.

I hear music and it sets me free.
For He paid a great price for me.
He sits upon my life’s throne,
Now I need never walk alone.

I hear music such a joyous sound.
It sets my feet upon solid ground.
I pray that it won’t ever silent be
For it reminds me to pray for thee.

Hope

How genuine is my faith if it cannot stand testing?
Testing by fire and not by the seat of my resting.
Is my faith more precious than gold that perishes?
Or do I find that with hardships it then vanishes?
Do I glory in tribulation or succumb to temptation?
Do I patiently wait on God what’ere the duration?
For tribulation we know produces perseverance.
The prayers without ceasing produce consistence.
If we can persevere God says we will have character.
And that longed for character will give us HOPE!

“Thank You for reminding me that You, Almighty God, are in charge, that trials are not pointless, and that eternal rewards await. But a little while and we will be with YOU!”

James 1:4, 1Peter 1: 6 - 7, Romans 5:3 - 4, Lamentations 3:26, Hebrews 10:34 - 36,
2 Thessalonians 2:16 - 17
