Our Deep Valleys

So midst our own, deep dark valleys
We oft’ recall, our wrong behavior
Yet focus not, upon our failures
But trust in Christ, our risen Savior.
We Shall Come Forth as Gold

Facing fierce fires, to burn dross
Trusting Jesus, we lay hold
Be surrendered, and stay faithful
We shall come forth as gold.
In Every Trial and Storm

Be not discouraged, nor despair
As He prepares you, in Christ
Working all things for good
By grace in Him, fully sufficed.
Israel and her Foes

And yet our hope is not in weapons
The arm of flesh, will fail
Pray Israel trust in the LORD
Know her Messiah, wholly prevail.
In Political Contributions They Trust?

God offers a promise
If His people will pray
And humble ourselves
Walk in His way.
Radical Islam

So, the standard Islamic narrative
All the stories they tell
Are unfounded, by any facts
For pure deceptions, they fell.
My Hiding Place and Shelter

You are my hiding place
And also my shield
I hope in Your Word
There Your love, revealed.
Tortured for Christ

So, despite such depravity
The height of men’s evil
You will comfort, and care
LORD God, Your own people.
The Privilege of Persecution

For persecution’s rewarded
Such an honor to bear
To walk the way, of His cross
In His sufferings, His life share.
The Blessings of Persecution

And there, no more pain
Soon glory, and splendor
God’s presence and peace
His kingdom, forever.
