in Jesus - a poem

when fears creep up to scare me

and anxiety is a must

i stand unshakable, 'cause

in Jesus I can trust

bound by guilt and worry

doubts as deep as the sea

i know there's One who knows it all

in Jesus I am free

at times I break and weep

my heart can sing no song

i relish in the joy of Christ

in Jesus I am strong

and at the end I am assured

though our shells return to dust

our souls are safe in the arms of God

in Jesus I can trust

*

The name of the Lord is a fortified tower;
the righteous run to it and are safe.

- Proverbs 18:10 -
