Trust When life seems hard, impossible to bear This thought sustains: I know my Savior’s there. Some days it seems each little task goes wrong, I’m helpless then, but know my Savior’s strong. My pain and suff’ring may sometimes overwhelm But then I’m comforted: this is my Father’s realm. Good friends oftimes don’t seem to […]
In the beginning, the eternal Word, By might unmeasured and unknown to man, Spoke, and the depths of nothingness were stirred; And in that great beginning time began.
