AWAKE!

AWAKE, our souls! away, our fears!
Let every trembling thought be gone!
Awake, and run the heavenly race,
And put a cheerful courage on.

True, 'tis a strait and thorny road,
And mortal spirits tire and faint;
But they forget the mighty God,
That feeds the strength of every saint.

O mighty God, thy matchless power
Is ever new, and ever young;
And firm endures, while endless years
Their everlasting circles run.

From thee, the ever-flowing spring,
Our souls shall drink a fresh supply;
While such as trust their native strength
Shall melt away, and droop, and die.

Swift as the eagle cuts the air,
We'll mount aloft to thine abode;
On wings of love our souls shall fly,
Nor tire along the heavenly road.
-Wesley

We need not fear, for Thy matchless power is complete. You hold everything in the palm of Your hand. Your timing is perfect, your promises will be fulfilled, answers will come, and miracles will be done. We worry to much. We question too much. May we awake in delight with the morns new light. May we believe things which are far beyond reason. May we see what is beyond our own eyes. May we know Your love...may we know, Jesus.
