THERE IS ONE WHO STICKS CLOSER THAN A BROTHER

by Ronald Ferguson © 1997

Sweet hope that transcends all our fears,
When hurt or threat or danger nears;
This hope imparted by the Lord,
Is sent with promise from His word.

We know not what a day will bring,
Or if our souls might fret or sing;
God's hope does rise above all this -
The doorway opened to His bliss.

Cast down, my soul, you find yourself!
Then realise this:- you're not bereft.
Anchor then to God's resources.
Blessings true, His word endorses.

Mercy, grace and love are given
Freely from the bank of heaven.
Know joy and calm through darkest storm;
Comfort in Christ for those who mourn.
