(sorry the beautiful colors didn't transfer over from the msn board)
In thy presence, O Lord,
my soul is nourished abundantly.
From my heart to your heart flows love;
love that is eternal; O, Jesus, my precious Lord and to my God!
Joy is my portion and strength speaks through
your Word into my spirit, mind, and soul.
Perhaps this morning, your soul is cast down? Perhaps you feel empty inside, and certainly do not feel like Heaven's bride.
Perhaps you have been regected, like a dish cast off,
Perhaps those you trusted, scorned and did scoff,
Perhaps, like me you are sitting there with your body wracked in pain,
poverty and friendless, not much prospering, not much gain?
Your body shouts at you to die, to just give up and never try,
but these words above are ever true,
so let the joy of Jesus carry you.
Let his mercy and His grace, keep you focused on HIS face,
Tell your soul to trust in God, hold on to HIS word, and to His love,
Hold fast to what remains and DRINK THE CUP, LIKE JESUS DID WHEN HE LIFTED IT UP,
remember his words,
IF I GO AND PREPARE A PLACE I WILL COME AGAIN AND RECEIVE YOU TO MYSELF
SELAH
