His Promise

There are days when trials – 

  Seem to loom ahead.

Fears and doubts assail me  

  Filling me with dread.

Though my heart may tremble – 

  In a little while,

Jesus stands beside me

  And I begin to smile.

Promises He has made –

  Banish all my fears,

It is His gentle Hand

  That wipes away my tears.

“Never will I leave thee” – 

  He whispers to my heart.

I stand upon the promise

  He never will depart.
