I needed to affirm my belief in Jesus and His belief in me.


Jesus

Justified, in Gods eyes
Emancipater of sinners' ties
Sacrificed for all mankind
Unfailing in the purpose for which he came
Savior for all who call upon his name

He looked upon my heart
caused the sin there to depart
replaced it with his crown
stopped judgement from coming down
unburdened my troubled soul
took my broken life and made it whole
cast away all my fears
wiped away all my tears
filled my heart with hope
gave me strength to cope
took my lonliness away
stays close to me every day
guides me in my daily walk
hears my words when I talk
knows my every need and care
goes with me everywhere
protects me from the enemy
promises Heaven for eternity

Great work Phyllis! I love this piece. What a great place this world would be if all people believed in God and Jesus.

A beautiful poem of testament to our Savior and His unconditonal, neverending love. I say Amen.

He is the only one, the only refuge of many souls, he is the only one that knows every heart and loves every heart, he desires to build not tear down every heart and every soul. He alone is the one, my trust is in Him and Him alone. Good poem of reaffirmation and faith. I am leaning on a poem I have read many moons ago. Faith is not when the answer comes that is not faith in him but when I am striped bare of all and deep humiliation know to trust Him then that is faith in Him. I am glad as you said, that He looks into our hearts and knows our frame and knows that we are but dust.
