When my soul within me bows deep in pain
When the anguish in my heart takes my breath away
I turn to the one who loves me without measure or merit
The only one who truly cares about me day by day

In His arms is my solitary comfort, there I renew
When earthly love is unfaithful, and its actions untrue
I cannot be unfaithful to the one who holds my eternity
Even though the pain in unbearable, and my mind blue.

From Him I will draw strength as I lean on His word
and stand in the faith, knowing my spirit he will gird
for I am bought with a price and cannot deny His love
I am His child, a mirror image walking alone in this world

So when disappointments mount within my mind horde,
To Him I will run--my refuge, my saviour, my Lord.


I changed "and" to "within", seems to fit better, sorry!

How beautiful this is!
How wonderful to know He will always be there
to comfort us in His arms.
Very uplifting piece...enjoyed this so much.

Dulcinea,

I like the whole poem, but the last line screams of compassion and truth....

No matter the darkness we might face in life,

Jesus is our Refuge, our Saviour, and our  Lord....

This is a wonderful truth that we can not forget.  GOD bless.

When our minds are in the dark, better is the moment when we can run to him.
Great poem.

Nancy, Bob and Deb,

Thank you so much! It is true, Jesus is the only true comfort there is in this world, and I know that He will always be there for me, no matter what...the friend that sticks closer than a brother...how I depend on that!

Again, thank you all, I appreciate your kindness! God Bless you all!

Dulcie darling heart, yes I know fetching them all up but since Iā€™m here I will reply to you darling girl. This shows from whence comes your help in times of pain and whence comes the joy that fills a soul with light.

Beautifully written darling girl your faith and love shine in this



Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh
