Against your servant, Lord, who can prevail;
What thing can separate me from your grace?
I am persuaded that You cannot fail;
You’ve set a seal that nothing can erase.

I’m safe within Your care forevermore
And hell itself cannot destroy my soul
For You’ve devised a plan that will endure;
You’ll bring me safely home for that’s Your goal.

No Principality can loose Your hold
Created beings, none, need my heart fear;
No present circumstance nor ones of old
Or yet to be can change Your love, that’s clear.

The finished work of Christ can’t be undone
Yes, once for all, He died, salvation’s won.



 Denise

And slight is the sting of his trouble
Whose winnings are less than his worth;
For he who is honest is noble,
Whatever his fortunes or birth.~~~Alice Cary, ~Nobility~

Denise,
This is a beautiful statment of your faith, and abiding trust in the power and effacy of His Ultimate sacrifice for us.  I find it reflective of some of the thoughts of Romans 8:31 and following.  God bless you,Sis,   David

Beautiful message enwrapped in an equally beautiful poem.  Might have a wee bit to do with the beautiful soul who gave life to this wonderful effort.
