In times of darkness
When all that I have known
When the world and all that is in it
Has abandoned me to my silence
I will remember
The unfailing love of my Lord Jesus
That He has for me.
In times of unyielding stress
When everything that I love and hate
Are against me with swords and spears
Bearing me down with wounds
I will remember
The healing hand of my Lord Jesus
And that my vindication is in Him.
In times of great expectations
When fear freezes my mind
Stills my hands and seals my lips
And when I grappled with anxiety in vain
I will remember
The promises of my Lord Jesus
That He will always be with me.
In times of uncertainty
When many paths are laid before me
And difficult choices are to be made
Where change is ever the more daunting
I will remember
That my Lord has wonderful plans for me
And He will guide me every step of the way to my destiny.
In times of deep reflection
When the purpose of my life is questioned
And I turn to look into the mirror
But find no answer
I will remember
That I am made in the image of God
And I am here because of and for Christ.
In times of trouble
When I can see no escape
And I am trapped within a cage
Assailed from all sides
I will remember
The faithfulness of my Lord Jesus
And in Him nothing is impossible.
In times of great unrest
When my heart is shaken
With endless worries and what ifs
And when all foundations of the earth crumble to dust
I will remember
To be still and know
That He is God.
In times of doubt
When faith slips from my fingers like sand
And the jeers of the Enemy fill my ears
Drowning my cries for help
I will remember
The simple and one Truth that is Christ Jesus
Who is my Rock and my Salvation.
In times of immense loss
When all that I have held precious and dear
Are blown and swept away by the tides of time
And I am left bare as the day I was born
I will remember
The goodness of my Lord Jesus
And that He is the greatest gift
That no one could lay a hand upon
For nothing could tear me away from His grasp
Nor separate me from His love
And I will bless the Lord
All the days of my life through all circumstance.
