In You, Lord, We Find Our Courage
Posted: September 21, 2008
Timely words to timeless hymn tune…
In You, Lord, we find our courage
when the headlines trigger fear.
Help us focus on Your presence
that is always, ever near.
Thanks for nourishing our hunger.
Thanks for sheltering our sleep.
Thanks for promising salvation
when we face a grave so deep.
You remain our source of courage
when the market is besieged.
When the spinning winds of summer
find the Gulf States on their knees.
Storms of many kinds assault us.
We are vulnerable and weak.
As the dark clouds swirl around us,
help us Lord Your face to seek.
Note: The above poem can be sung to the tune for "What a Friend We Have in Jesus."
