Sometimes, all we need is a reminder that God is always with us when we face hardships...
Remembering You

My eyelids droop, my tongue is dry
Blood trickles even;
Oh, I am so tired
so deathly tired…

Satan approaches my door
Nay, his pitiful face I see not
But his demeanour I glimpse
in the guise of tribulations
under the veil of ugly emotions
hidden beneath illness
submerged within things of the world
tempting me to be sucked into that void.

I know he is knocking on my door
He breaks through my defences
Oh! What can I
a lone human do?

But as I struggle with unseen forces
I remember my weaknesses
not just mine, but yours as well
I remember your welcoming arms
Your warm smile, the gift of love
not even the devil can hide from me
I have never forgotten You
My Creator, my Potter.

You are my Saviour
You came, You died and You rose
because You know we need You
because You know I need You.

Oh Lord!
Your rod and Your staff,
shall protect me from evil
giving me righteousness
Your words of love, grace and truth
shall pour blessings upon me
bringing me salvation
And set me free.

Alas! My heart is brittle
My soul grows weary, drained
weather-beaten like those rocks I see
How much more can I persevere without You?

You are our Rock
My Rock, O God
The Rock of ages
that will never crumble
You, Lord ever so mighty
That is the rock I lean on,
The one watching over me,
The one my life breathes on.

Let me not stray from You
lest I am entrapped by the world
Come into my life, I pray
Only You can save me!

For all the sufferings You endured
For all the work You laboured
For all the blessings You imparted
For all the miracles You performed
I thank You
Jesus Christ, the Son of God
Mighty in power yet born small
I know You did it for me.

You are the lover of my soul
My strong tower, my refuge
My faithful Comforter
My salvation, my Redeemer

and above all
Beautiful Saviour.
