I am a conqueror, victorious Despite travail I shall not be undone He leads me on a path most glorious Bequeathed to me in mercy through His Son. I have a sturdy anchor sure and true Although fierce raging storms of life assail His beacon bright shall lead me safely through The gale for by His side I shall prevail. I am the child of a mighty King Adopted by a great and awesome God Who freely showers me with all good things To bless me as I tread this mortal sod. He gives a peace I cannot comprehend He offers it to you as well, my friend. Denise [This message has been edited by dsnyder (edited 01-27-2001).] |
