Where Jesus Reigns
(I selected this poem
because I have found it quite encouraging, and I thought that since this
is the start of the new year, we could all use the help to get "back to
the basics" and renew our faith in the Strength that never fails. For all
the new year's resolutions made, remember that Jesus is always there, even
through the times when you think that everything has fallen apart. In these
times of frailty, lean on the one that waits and wants to provide us with
peace. ~Cynthia :oP)
Where Jesus
reigns, there is no fear,
No restless
doubt, no hopeless tear,
No base
deceit nor faithless prayer,
No angry
strife nor weak despair,
No greed
for gain nor selfish pride,
No bitterness
for aught denied,
No evil
tongue, no cruel arm,
No envy,
hate, nor wish to harm,
No wicked
lust, nor trace of stain,
But all
is pure where Jesus reigns.
Where Jesus
reigns, there is no night,
For He
is Wisdom, Love, and Light;
No raging
sea, nor tempest dread,
But quietness
and calm instead;
No anxious
care, no blind unrest,
No heavy
heart by guilt oppressed,
No discontent,
no gloomy days,
But highest
hope and sweetest praise;
No stumbling
oft nor galling chains,
No shame
nor sin, where Jesus reigns.
Where Jesus
reigns, there's joy untold,
There's
wealth that's richer far than gold,
There's
service glad and courage true,
There's
power to be, and strength to do,
There's
sacrifice, and sweet content,
There's
grace divine, in mercy sent,
There's
triumph over self and sin,
And blessed
peace abides within;
There's
truest faith that never wanes---
There's
LOVE supreme where Jesus reigns.
