In Him only

I lift my eyes over the mountains

Past the trees—

Beyond the frames of men,

Beyond beautiful flying things

Butterflies, bees and floating petals
That were created by One;

My hope rests in one thing,
Even though I’ve tried to find refuge in other places.

No, not man;

No, not riches;

Not esteem nor friends nor success and comfort

Is my hope found in.

I’ve looked;

My hope is in the LORD.

His Word brings life;

His promises are true.

His faithfulness reaches to the skies,

His love never fails.

He counts the number of hairs on my head

And my name is written on His palm.

He causes the earth to tremble

And mighty waters to part.

He sings over me with unfailing love;

He rejoices over me,

For He is a kind and merciful God,

The Great I AM

Lion and Lamb

Victor over death,

Conqueror of my sin.

The LORD over angel armies

Sees me.

How come I forget sometimes
That God is so big and holy?
That my grief is minuscule
Compared to other sufferings or
Compared to His Mighty Love.

He has loved me when I was weakest;
He beckoned me when I did not know Him.
He redeemed my father, my brother, my friend
And I still see Him moving in the lives of others.

Put your hope in the LORD;
Be strong, take heart and wait for the LORD
It esteems in Psalm 27.
I want to do that, Lord.
I make the choice--


I thank You for Your grace to work that hope in me.
You are good, Lord;
Your mercy reaches to the skies!
Your love really does endure forever.
Forgive me when I forget please
And please make Yours the tablet of my heart.
