Philippians 4:7<\/b>\u00a0\u201cAnd the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Never, never, never,<\/p>\n

Never ever,<\/p>\n

Has God left me alone,<\/p>\n

Or unprotected.<\/p>\n

No, not ever,<\/p>\n

Never ever.<\/p>\n

He has been with me always,<\/p>\n

When I was stupid,<\/p>\n

He was wise<\/p>\n

And loving,<\/p>\n

Then, and again, and now.<\/p>\n

He has never left me alone.<\/p>\n

Always His love called to me,<\/p>\n

When I was deaf He stood before me,<\/p>\n

And mouthed His words.<\/p>\n

When I was blind He made,<\/p>\n

My heart and mind see.<\/p>\n

When I couldn\u2019t feel,<\/p>\n

He touched and healed me.<\/p>\n

Never, never, never,<\/p>\n

Never ever,<\/p>\n

Has God left me alone,<\/p>\n

Or unprotected.<\/p>\n

When the enemy of my soul,<\/p>\n

Lied and told me \u201cIt\u2019s not worth it!\u201d<\/p>\n

The Lord God,<\/p>\n

This massive omnipotent God,<\/p>\n

Put His gargantuan arm,<\/p>\n

Tenderly around my shoulder.<\/p>\n

And told me \u201cDon\u2019t believe Him\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBelieve me,<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll see,<\/p>\n

It will all be worth it.<\/p>\n

And in greater and<\/p>\n

More numerous ways,<\/p>\n

Than you can imagine\u201d<\/p>\n

Never, never, never,<\/p>\n

Never ever,<\/p>\n

Has God left me alone,<\/p>\n

Or unprotected.<\/p>\n

No, not ever,<\/p>\n

Never ever.<\/p>\n

So often He talked<\/p>\n

Me off the ledge.<\/p>\n

So often He hugged me till I dropped<\/p>\n

The knife.<\/p>\n

He sang peace into,<\/p>\n

My heart and soul,<\/p>\n

When I could not find it,<\/p>\n

On my own.<\/p>\n

Because I never could,<\/p>\n

I never did,<\/p>\n

And still can\u2019t,<\/p>\n

Find true,<\/p>\n

Through and through,<\/p>\n

Peace on my own.<\/p>\n

So He has whispered to me,<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s okay, take some of mine.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be alright,<\/p>\n

I promise.<\/p>\n

Never, never, never,<\/p>\n

Never ever,<\/p>\n

Will I leave you alone,<\/p>\n

Or unprotected.<\/p>\n

No, not ever,<\/p>\n

Never ever<\/p>\n

Always I have been,<\/p>\n

And always will be,<\/p>\n

With you.<\/p>\n

Always.<\/p>\n

Forever.<\/p>\n

And so I live.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Psalm 150:6<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.\u00a0 Praise the Lord!<\/i><\/p>\n

Micah 7:7<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0But as for me, I watch\u00a0in hope\u00a0for the\u00a0Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will Hear\u00a0me.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Micah 6:8<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0He has\u00a0shown you, Oh man, what\u00a0is\u00a0good; and what does the\u00a0Lord\u00a0require of you, but\u00a0to do justly, to love\u00a0mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.<\/i><\/p>\n

Numbers 6:24-26<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0The\u00a0Lord\u00a0bless you and keep you; 25\u00a0The\u00a0Lord\u00a0make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; 26\u00a0The\u00a0Lord\u00a0turn His face\u00a0toward you and give you peace.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
