LORD – I Have YOU to Rescue Me

Grieving is my season – yes – or no –
It’s true my comfort zone has been shattered –
I’ve been robbed by death of the man I loved –
He was robbed of his health – not by God –
By whom or what not sure – But not by God
Jesus gave His life to give us life –
Forgiveness -healing –prosperity –Himself –
The best of our gifts – Jesus Himself – in us
We in Him

God does not thwart His work of grace – Jesus
Paid it all – All to Him I owe –
Someday He’ll trample death for us –
We’ll be there to cheer – No more graveyards –
No more tears – no more grieving widows –
No more wounded hearts – No more ever –
What about NOW – Lord – What next –
I thought you said stop grieving –
I did but –

Why – Lord – should I stop – Why not – You ask –
You’ve given me a space to rest – You say –
I rest – then I grieve – then I rest – then I grieve –
And a space to grieve – You’ve given me –
I want to rest – why can’t I rest –
You stop trusting Me – You say –
You cast your eyes on the storm
That you see coming – Child –
Not on Me –

What should I do – What can I do –
STOP IT – stop it now – You say –
Okay – Lord – I’ll look at You today –
All day – What do I see – JESUS –
Who died for me – Risen – Powerful –
Loving me – Yes – Me – Even me –
Reminding me that He promised me
That blessing He would bless me –
Thank you – Lord

I’m resting – Lord – resting in Jesus –
I think I see a reason to celebrate –
Hope restored – seas calm – no storm –
Thank you – Lord – for teaching me
To rest – Do we have some water
For me to walk on – I’m resting – Lord –
Yes – I remember Peter – He lost his footing
And so will I – but – like Peter – I have
YOU to rescue me –

1 Corinthians 15:26 – The Bible (KJV) – The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

1 Corinthians 15:55-57 – The Bible (KJV) – O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 8:28-32 – The Bible (KJV) – And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Romans 4:3-5 – The Bible (KJV) – For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Romans 4:13 – The Bible (KJV) – For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

Genesis 22:17 – The Bible (KJV) – That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies…
