His Mercy's
Sure To Keep Me
 
by Terese Holloway
 
 
When the rhyme has lost it's reason, and the flower sheds it's bloom;
When the morning sunrise ceases, and only darkness fills the room.
When hope evades reality, and life has lost it's song;
When nothing's in it's place, and everything seems wrong.
It's then, my heart looks upward toward the shining SON;
Engulfing HIS sweet promise, to NOT leave ANY thing, undone.
For even in this season, of devastation and remorse;
I will put my trust in Jesus and let Him keep my life on course.
You see, there will always be SOME things, that I will NOT understand;
But I've built my life upon the Rock ~ not on the sinking sand!
So, as long as I have breath, I will never turn away;
From the one that I call Savior, and His All Consuming Grace.
Yes, He has heard my cries, from the depth of deep despair;
And He has sent His comfort, upon the Wings Of Prayer.
His Mercy's Sure To Keep Me and His Love, Is Sure To Hold,
My heart inside the darkness and the anguish of my soul.
He will never leave me  ~ nor forsake me in this place;
Instead, He'll pick me up, and hold me close, in HIS embrace!
