Early Sunday Post

Bronze cowboy at Woolaroc Ranch Bartlesville, OK


I Have Hope
by Dallas Holm

Where do the brokenhearted go
To find a comfort for their pain
So many hurting need to know
The hope there is in Jesus' name

I tried to make it on my own
I kept on drifting far away
But now I finally have a home
In Jesus love I'll always stay

Chorus:
I have joy in the time of sorrow
I have peace in the raging storm
I have faith that Jesus holds tomorrow
I have hope, I'm resting in His arms

I'll carry on 'til Jesus comes
Though trials and snares may come my way
And by His strength the race I'll run
And by His grace these words I say

I have joy in the time of sorrow
I have peace in the raging storm
I have faith that Jesus holds tomorrow
I have hope, I'm resting in His arms

He said He'd never leave me, never let me go
No matter what may come, this one thing I know

I have joy in the time of sorrow
I have peace in the raging storm
I have faith that Jesus hold tomorrow
I have hope, I'm resting in His arms


Last week was a hard week for this country. This song is one that I always listen to on 'hard days' and I hope the words have touched you, too.

Remember to pray for all the families and friends affected by the tragedy last week in Virginia.

Have a blessed Sunday,

RMary

  1. I so luv the bronze cowboy photo - amazing detail.

    Also the song is so 'touching'and do agree with the words so beautifully written.

    A song perhaps meant for such sad events of last week.

    Blessings and thank you so much for sharing with us.

  3. Thanks for commenting on the weather situation where you live.

    Here in Scotland we have not had really severe weather for some time - severe in the snow terms that is.

    However, in 2001 it was quite severe, in that our community had no power for (5) days and cut-off - roads completely blocked.

    Thankfully these are less frequent now.

  10. The words to this song are perfect! I have been praying for all touched by last week's attrocities. I trust each one has contact with a child of the King who can help comfort them in this time of sorrow.
