Where all My Hopes Are Built
Yes, I deserve to die,
My sin condemns my soul;
And by myself I can’t escape
Or shake its full control.
But Jesus died for me –
He took my sin and guilt,
He paid my debt upon the cross
Where all my hopes are built.
Now I am free indeed
For Christ has set me free!
He rose again and gave me life
For all eternity.
Henceforth I live in Him
And heed His loving call.
With grateful thanks I praise His Name
For He’s my all in all.

Christina – once again you refresh my soul with Biblical truths in poetic form. Well done, thou good and faithful servant of the Lord!
Your servant in Christ,
Paul Sauvé
Christina,
As you know, God speaks to us through hymns and poetry, as well as through His Word, in different ways, and at different times of life. The seasons of our soul “season” the way we taste, see, hear, and think about things.
And having said that, and knowing you write a lot of good poetry, I personally think that this is one of your best.
Thank you for writing it. Thank you for sharing it.
Keep it up. You are ministering to people in ways that you don’t know about, and never will until you get to Glory.
God bless you richly.
David
Psalm 2:8
Thank you so much for your words of encouragement this morning, David! May the Lord bless you in your work for Him and encourage you this week.
