My Redeemer Liveth

 

²⁵For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

 

When all has been said

And all has been done

As far as this clay body of mine

I know that I have a home

With JESUS, divine.

When I tend to get tired

And discouragement attends me

I read my Bible, sing my songs

And pray to my LORD because

HE is a living PRESENCE in my soul

And spending eternity with HIM

Is my Christian walk's goal.

And sometimes when I shed a tear

I remind myself that I am not a

Permanent resident down here

And too, I know that every tear that

I have shed will be wiped away by

GOD, HIMSELF, and I will

Never again have to cry.

So, if you have gotten tired

And/or disgruntled with your lot in life

Just remember that the LORD

Is your SHEPHERD and HE knows

All about your trouble and your strife.

Yes, HE knows all about your disillusionment

And can move it out of the way and

Replace it with contentment

While you rest beside the peaceful

Waters that flow

And I can tell you, from one sheep to another

GOD can rescue you like no other.

If you have gotten tired, well

That is natural enough

Just don't get so tired that you give up

You just keep praying and hanging tough

Because the GOD that we serve is known

To show up and show out when the

Welfare of HIS children is in peril

To let the whole world know that

HIS children are never alone!©
