Overcome

The storms in my life seem to be upon me…So many times I tend to get discouraged…
I didn’t know what to do but i tried hard on my own…I was getting discouraged…
when I heard your voice…calling out to me…Take courage…in this world you will have trouble…
but in me you will find true peace…calmness for the journey…For I have overcome the world was what you told me…

I tried to understand…the comfort in your words…I looked at the waves of this life…
and have seen where they have tossed me…I lost my focus…on what I knew was true…I closed my eyes and cried…
for someone to come and save me…Then you came…out of the stormy sea…told me not to be afraid…
told me that it was for a reason…this world has its’ troubles…

Even though I can’t see right now…I trust and hope for a future…a heart of pure contentment…
and a life with peace throughout…I tried to say I love you…but all I could get out was ahhh…
I wanted to tell you how much I need you…but I couldn’t get past myself…A docile hand of a Savior…
gently stroking my face… a voice asking where I had been…

33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble.
But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33 (NIV)
