My Comfort

My Comfort

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
My God, my strength, in Whom I will trust
                        (Psalm 18:2)

It hurt, Lord, and I cried…
You held me close,
and dried up all my tears.

I was frightened, Lord…
You gave me courage,
took away my fears.

Sickness came, strength disappeared…
Your hand reached out,
my health returned again.

Trials came, I was overwhelmed…
I heard Your voice,
abiding peace flowed in.

When I looked up
to thank You, Lord,
I saw another’s need.

Help me reach out
and take their hand and
to You, Dear Lord, lead,

that they may find
the things I’ve found
while anchored in Your love:

Comfort, healing,
courage, strength,
eternal home above.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 
Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able
to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort
with which we ourselves are comforted by God
                      (2 Corinthians 1:3-4)
