Words ….

For the joys and for the sorrows, the best and worst of times,

For this moment, for tomorrow, for all that lies behind;

Fears that crowd around me, for the failure of my plans,

For the dream of all I hope to be, the truth of what I am….

…For this I have Jesus.

 

For the tears that flow in secret, in the broken times,

For the moments of elation, or the troubled mind;

For all the disappointments, for the string of old regrets,

All my prayers and longings that seem unanswered yet…

…For this I have Jesus.

 

For the weakness of my body, the burdens of each day,

For the nights of doubt and worry, when sleep has fled away;

Needing reassurance, and the need to start again,

A steely-eyed endurance, the strength to fight and win…

…For this I have Jesus
