These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Shakespearean Sonnet: "Anchor"

My Hope is placed upon the Lord, Who's sure.
The tension pulls me tight to Jesus' side.
Secure in Christ, I'm made to still endure.
The One, Who's Sure, in Him to e'er abide.

The gales may wail but Jesus never moves.
Pandemic Kudzu covers hills and dales.
Yet, worthy Christ, the foe He now reproves
in love, that lifts and never, ever fails.

Salvation's Hope, it's found in Christ, our Love,
who died and rose, again, each soul to seek.
This life is lived by Standards from Above
through merits of the Lord, Who's gentle, meek.

The energy for living in the Lord
comes through consuming fully His Dear Word.
