"GOD NEVER FAILS ME"



               GOD NEVER FAILS ME.
Life is full of darkness and sinfulness but imagine God singing over me. A weak and lowly soul; Imagine God finding cause for joy because I'm made whole. No more sin to darken my way, forgiven, accepted and free. The eternal God! Majestic power! Rejoices over me. My weakness has no more control, my sins are cast aside; I now walk with lightened steps, for Christ and I abide. No more my will but Thine Oh Lord! Your judgment never fails, In all my ways I trust in you, your holiness prevails. I know that when I hear your voice and never from it sway,That You delight in my frail being and bless me more each day. Temptations of the world are strong and my resistance weak; Without the Spirit as my guide I would not hear God speak. But now I know through all my days my path has been ordained, My future, God declares to me, is perfectly sustained. But still I marvel - my God sings with joy because I am His. No one can take away His love, this holiness, this bliss. Daily I will rest in Him and listen to His voice, For I am His and He is mine, a blessed mutual choice!
Though time should run out, my love never will, You are my life and my trust; You are the One who holds me secure, You are the holy One; the Just. Graves cannot contain my spirit; death is not the end of time, Though my body turns to ashes, I will rest in peace sublime. All on earth is temporary, soon to vanish without trace, Wealth holds no eternal virtue, yet it's held in man's embrace. Much is sacrificed for riches, human beings bought and sold, No respect for God's creation, but the mighty power of gold. Life is but a fleeting moment, just a shadow o'er the sun, Man cannot create extensions; God decides when life is done. Man seems bent on self destruction, not prepared for what's ahead, Needless of the many warnings and of things that he should dread. I have learned to rest completely, even though I cannot see, I can trust in God's good judgment, I am His eternally. But I'm part of His commission: "Bring the news to every land," Draw the nations to the Saviour, help the world to understand. Riches, glory, fame and honour have no value to the soul, Be prepared to meet your Maker, He has all things in control. When my earthly ties are severed and I stand before my King,  It would be my greatest pleasure, more reward than anything: Having you stand there with me, loving Jesus like I do, Having made that great decision, you will join the saved ranks too.

I could not forsake my Master after what He's done for me,
Earthly ties become redundant with my soul at liberty.
Hand in hand we'll stand before Him, in that holy, heavenly place,
Seeing Jesus in His glory, gazing on His holy face. I want to strike it rich with God, the riches of His power, To reach the world with His great love, to serve Him every hour. I want to be His messenger no matter where He sends me, To walk by faith and not by sight through grace which He extends me. I want to be in His control, my own will to surrender, To follow footsteps in the sand, to hear His voice so tender. I want to know His will for me, His purpose in this mission To always be at one with Him, to serve without contrition. All of this I long to do, I have such great intentions, But will and deeds oft don't comply, through human apprehensions. Fear of failure, lack of trust, what happens if I fail here?
A disappointed God might say, "Why could you not prevail here?"

If I cannot achieve His goals and find His will to guide me, If I should stumble on the way and think, "He's not beside me." If I cause blemish on His name when I am apprehended, If in my witness I should fail, would my God be offended? I dare not risk to bring Him pain, to hurt or disrespect Him, To idly watch sin take its toll, to have the world reject Him. If I should blunder in my plight it's still a risk worth taking, A soul might find a lighted path; his sinful life forsaking. Who is to know what lies ahead? What mission God assigns me? Think of the blessing I might miss if fear rules, or it blinds me. I'll venture forth, I'll do my best, that's all that is required, I'll follow anywhere He leads, through faith I'll be inspired. I can achieve, I WILL ACHIEVE! It's God who's in control here; Perhaps the privilege will be mine to bring another soul here. "God, give me strength to do Your will, assist me through Your power, and in my pursuits every day, give wisdom for each hour." But these hands are still extended, reaching out to draw men in, Oh, the loving hands of Jesus, paid the penalty for sin.
and Yes, Truly God never Fails Me!
