ONLY GOD WHO DOES IT!
I pray to God=every day
FOR STRENGTH
I pray to Jesus=every day
For the strength=and love
To make it
THROUGH THE DAY
It is God who STRENGTHENS=
It is Jesus who strengthens us=
And gives us=what we NEED
To make it
Through the day
“I have learned the secret
Of being well fed-
And of going hungry
Of living in abundance
And of being in need
I can do ALL things
In him
WHO STRENGTHENS ME” Philippians 4:12-13
Fortunately for me=
God and my family
Have always
TAKEN CARE of me
I have never been hungry
And on the street=
COMPARED to others
Around the world=
I=and most of us
In this country
Live in an ABUNDANCE
But what I have LEARNED
Is that=
Neither our abundance
Or our poverty
Is HOW we will
Be MEASURED by God
What matters=is to WHOM
WE WILL TURN=
And if we turn
To God and Jesus=
GOD WILL STRENGTHEN US
It is ONLY GOD
WHO DOES IT!
“For the eyes
Of the Lord
Range throughout the earth
To STRENGTHEN those
Whose hearts
Are fully committed to him” 2 Chronicles 16:9
“My soul is weary
With sorrow=STRENGTHEN ME
According to your word” Psalm 119:28
“I will STRENGTHEN YOU
And help you=
I will uphold you
With my righteous right hand” Isaiah 41:10
IF we are in abundance
We should TURN
To God=in gratitude
And remind ourselves
That our ABUNDANCE
Is NOT our own doing=
It is a GIFT from Jesus
And if we find ourselves
IN NEED=it is ONLY GOD
Who can help our situation
It is only God who offers
The kind of strength
THAT WILL LAST
“May our Lord Jesus Christ himself
And God our FATHER-
Who loved us=
And by his grace-
Gave us eternal encouragement
And good hope
Encourage your hearts
AND STRENGTHEN YOU
In every good deed and word” 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17
For it is ONLY GOD=and Jesus
WHO DOES IT!
In Jesus' name=and in the name of GOD=our holy LIVING-LOVING FATHER
