Sweet Recompense

Eph.2:14For He Himself is our peace... (Today's poem was inspired by the first line in today's scripture reading) ...and then, the outer fringes of His gloryfilled the heavens where 'evidence of things unseen'grants glimpses of Him! ; Against the Cornerstone that keeps faith anchored in the gale No longer owned by sin’s uncouth, lawless captivity ; no mortal can impartFrom the wealth of His Word, He gives desires of the heart , nothing can take the place; through the Peace; what sweet recompense when faith has made us whole Hell's gates cannot prevail against the Savior of the soul © Janet Martin Why, oh, why is it so easy to slip into the snareof wanting what we see rather than what we know(if the truth has set us free)Oh!! Pray it has!And if it hasoh, pray for all who still do not know the truth! John 8:32Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Song by Matthew Smith Jesus! what a Friend for sinners!Jesus! Lover of my soul;Friends may fail me, foes assail me,He, my Savior, makes me whole.Hallelujah! what a Savior!Hallelujah! what a Friend!Saving, helping, keeping, loving,He is with me to the end.Jesus! what a Strength in weakness!Let me hide myself in Him.Tempted, tried, and often failing,He, my Strength, my victory wins.Hallelujah! what a Savior!Hallelujah! what a Friend!Saving, helping, keeping, loving,He is with me to the end.Jesus! what a Help in sorrow!While the billows over me roll,Even when my heart is breaking,He, my Comfort, helps my soul.Hallelujah! what a Savior!Hallelujah! what a Friend!Saving, helping, keeping, loving,He is with me to the end.Jesus! I do now receive Him,More than all in Him I find.He has granted me forgiveness,I am His, and He is mine.Hallelujah! what a Savior!Hallelujah! what a Friend!Saving, helping, keeping, loving,He is with me to the endHallelujah! what a Savior!Hallelujah! what a Friend!Saving, helping, keeping, loving,He is with me to the end.
