Psalm 91:4 When  He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

When trouble comes our way, no better place can we go than under the wings of God, trusting that He will shield us. 

That’s quite a comfort when you’re fighting cancer. 

Sheltered in the Arms of God

__________________________

I feel the touch of hands so kind and tender,  —   they're leading me in paths that I must trod.   —   I'll have no fear for Jesus walks beside me,   —   For I'm sheltered in the arms of God.

CHORUS:

So let the storms rage high,   —   The dark clouds rise.   —   They don't worry me,   —   For I'm sheltered safe within the arms of God.   —   He walks with me   —   And naught of earth shall harm me,   —   For I'm sheltered in the arms of God.

Soon I shall hear the call from Heaven's portals. — "Come home, My child, it's the last mile you must trod. — “I'll fall asleep and wake up in God's new heaven, — For I'm sheltered in the arms of God.

In The Garden

John 17:22-23 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 

[23] I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

I love this scripture where Jesus included us who would abide in Him in His prayer in The Garden of Getheseme shortly before His trial and crucifixion. 

What love He shares with us and Him and His Father. 

In The Garden

______________________

I come to the garden alone,    —   While the dew is still on the roses,  — And the voice I hear falling on my ear  —   The Son of God discloses.

CHORUS:

And He walks with me, and He talks with me, — And He tells me I am His own; — And the joy we share as we tarry there, — None other has ever known.

He speaks, and the sound of His voice  — Is so sweet the birds hush their singing, — And the melody that He gave to me — Within my heart is ringing.

I’d stay in the garden with Him, — Though the night around me be falling, — But He bids me go; through the voice of woe  — His voice to me is calling.

No, Not One

Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

God may not make you a millionaire, but He will never leave you or forsake you.

It doesn’t matter who you are or what you do, if you have responded in faith to the Word of God, you have been brought to the place where you can know that He will never leave you or forsake you. I

No, Not One

There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus,    —   No, not one! No, not one!  — None else could heal all our soul’s diseases,  —   No, not one! No, not one!

CHORUS:

Jesus knows all about our struggles,    —   He will guide till the day is done;  — There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus,  — No, not one! No, not one!

No friend like Him is so high and holy,    —   No, not one! No, not one!    —   And yet no friend is so meek and lowly,    —   No, not one! No, not one!

There’s not an hour that He is not near us,    —   No, not one! No, not one!  — No night so dark but His love can cheer us,  — No, not one! No, not one!

Did ever saint find this Friend forsake him?    —   No, not one! No, not one!  — Or sinner find that He would not take him?  — No, not one! No, not one!

Was e’er a gift like the Savior given?    —   No, not one! No, not one!    —   Will He refuse us a home in heaven?    —   No, not one! No, not one!

Peace in the Valley

 Isaiah 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

When Christ reigns on earth we will finally have peace, even between animals and children and animals. 

Peace In The Valley

______________________

Well I'm tired and so weary but I must go along — Till my Lord comes and calls me calls me away. — The morning's so bright and the lamb is the light, — And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes.

CHORUS:

There will be peace in the valley for me some day. — There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray.     —  There'll be no sadness, no sorrow, no troubles I'll see.     —   There will be peace peace in the valley for me

The bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame, — And the lion shall lay down down by the lamb, oh yes. — The beast from the wild will be lead by little child, — And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh yes.
