A Journey to Know Him

Stepping up in relationship with God
A journey to know Him better.

How He protects me from deceit and evil
Sharp tongues of hate that fetter.

He is my help, my rescuer always there
His might and strength run high

I pray to be used planting seeds, going forth
with boldness and courage, not shy

His Grace is sufficient, His guidance is sure
By His protection fear is cast out

His safety I feel, His security I know
His Love is all encompassing, without doubt.

He surrounds me like a fortress
A great and impenetrable wall.

With confidence I do not question
For He is faithful above all.

In Him I find my purpose, my reason
He must be in the fight to win it

His blessed assurance so sweet
With reverence and awe I commit

Growth springs up out of struggle
His freedom gives birth to forgiveness

Praise My God for His limitless grace
In His redemption I humbly find rest

So immeasurable is His wisdom
I remain confident in His hope

On the foundation of His covenant promises
Through trials and troubles I cope

I lift my hands in worship and praise
To the maker of heaven and of earth

He is My God, My Redeemer, My Friend
In Him alone do I find my worth.
