                           UNSHAKEABLE HOPE
                                   by Lynda Razafin
  
                                When the winds
                                   of trial blow
                                   and the waves
                                      of the sea
                                      are rough;
 
                                When the tears
                                   flow down
                                   and no one seems
                                      to be able
                                      to relieve
                                   our wounded hearts;
 
                                May our peace,
                                   our serenity,
                                   remain unshakeable.
 
                                 For tears of sorrow
                                   only belong
                                   to this present world;
 
                                But tears of joy
                                   that lead
                                   to peace and happiness
                                      will usher in
                                      the world to come.
 
                                This is our
                                    present hope
                                    in the Lord.

                 FEELING  FINE
                        by RFH
 
          You may find
             I'm feeling fine;
 
          No troubled mind
             troubles mine.
 
          "For they that wait upom the Lord . . .
         shall run, and not be weary . . .
         shall walk, and not faint."   Isaiah 40: 31

  ONLY  BY  GRACE
            by RFH
 
   Only by grace
      did I find a place
        in His process
          of selection;
 
   Had my heart been pure
   I'd not had to endure
   so much the pain
    of correction.
 
  "... My grace is sufficient
  for thee; for My strength
  is made perfect in [your]
  weakness ..."
          2 Corinthians 12:9
 
   "For whom the LORD
   loveth He correcteth."
                    Proverbs 3:2

THE SEARCH FOR PEACE
                 by RFH
 
     Aimed at my heart
       these darts ablaze
       disturb my nights,
         upset my days;
 
     I'm not so sure
       that I should stay
       or take myself
         far, far away;
 
     Peace of mind
       is all I desire;
       Lord, shield me from
         these arrows of fire.
 
     "Wait on the LORD: be
     of good courage and He
     shall strengthen thine
     heart ..."  Psalm 27:14

   A  BLIND  WORLD
                by RFH
 
This world is filling up
  with so much evil,
  you'd think at least half
    of us were mindless;
 
One after another,
  cruel acts are performed
  so often, you cry
    at acts of kindness;
 
Still, not many see
  much need but to serve
  themselves (or their own);
    Lord, please end this blindness.

   ATTEMPTING  VICTORY
 
   To do right
     then wrongfully die --
       half the victory's
         in the try.
