Joy's Promise
by Terese Holloway
 
Persistence in prayer, in the midst of it all;
Through the darkness of night ~ into the presence of God.
Ever faithful is He, when my cries touch His ear;
When I press through the pain, and to, Him, I draw near.
Understanding that PRAISE, is my weapon to use;
When my heart has been wounded, overwhelmed and abused.
Finding my warfare, becomes strong when I praise;
For my worship is worthy, in HIS Holy Place.
His presence is drawn to the depths of my soul;
When I run from my SELF and I head to HIS throne.
So, I'll stand in my night time and know who HE is;
I will take every problem, and I'll make them HIS!
You see, He's aware of the trials and the struggles I face
But His promise is sure ~ He'll NOT leave nor forsake!
Because, MY God is triumphant, even when I can't see;
And His answers WILL come ~ in the midst of my need!
