Jesus My Jesus

Jesus My Jesus

 

No other Name

Can calm a raging storm.

One whispered utter

Can call for Thy protective arms.

 

I call upon Thee,

My answer in times grey.

My Comforter,

Jesus my Jesus, my hiding place.

 

This life of mine,

I’ve given to Thee.

All my losses, all my gains

Belong not to me.

 

My faith in the power of Thy love

Sustains me in this life.

I trust Thee to grant me years,

Jesus my Jesus, in Thee, am I alive.

 

May my meager life

Bring glory to Thy Name.

Lifting up my writer’s voice,

Let me praise Thee just the same.

 

It is my desire to honor Thee,

And in my writing, may souls flock.

The enduring Lord forever more,

Jesus my Jesus, my solid Rock.

I'm glad you enjoy my writing about Jesus. I've gotten criticized for writing about Jesus too much. O welll. I'm still writing to glorify my Savior! Thanks for your review.

well ... anyone who shares the truths that Jesus showed and taught us will be persecuted somewhere along the line .. and criticized .. especially in our PC world today where there is no right nor wrong beyond what anyone thinks or says it is ... a false "tolerance" says i .. and a false teaching. ;)
