When the words that I’ve spoken
Have been misunderstood,
And the enemy whispers,
You’re surely no good,
There is Your Word.
When my heart races on,
And I can’t find Your peace
And the anxious thoughts in my mind
Just won’t cease,
There is Your Word.
When I’m feeling alone
And there’s no hope in sight,
Not a soul to confide in,
No help to cast light,
There is Your Word.
Order my thoughts aright, O Lord,
Help my heart to abide in Your rest,
You’re the friend who walks by my side, my Lord,
You encourage me on to the best.
You are the Word.
Thank You, my Jesus, that You are Lord,
You’re not just simply a man.
Thank You, Your Word says that You cannot lie,
And that You have an intricate plan.
Your Word is truth.

Days End Declaration
At the end of the day,
When all is said and done
And I climb into bed for night’s rest,
I ponder the day
And events that it held
And count myself incredibly blessed.
My life isn’t perfect
Disappointments abound,
Failures around every turn.
Regardless of that
My God loves me so dear,
With steadfast love, that can never be earned.
His great love never ceases,
His mercies new every day,
It’s never dependent on me.
That’s why this imperfect child
Feels so wonderfully blessed,
Because He’s opened my eyes that I might see,
That though I might fall,
His love lifts me again,
Plants my feet on the Rock,that I might sing,
Of His love everlasting,
His faithfulness so true,
That no event of the day is too great for my King.
For I’m kept by His power
And I’m filled with His love,
Trusting solely in His work on Calvary!
He endured the cross for you and me,
And I hold that truth dear to my heart,
No greater love has ever been shown!
I’ve taken solace in that from the start.
