Encourage Yourself In the Lord


 


Encourage Yourself In the Lord

          By George Thurlow


Encourage yourself like David did 

Rehearse God’s deeds of old

Do not succumb to fear and dread

Let the Spirit make you bold.


Recall past intervening

All the ways God brought you through 

He’s still your ever present help

And is here to rescue you.


Remember who you are in Christ 

A child of the Shepherd King

His eyes are ever watchful 

Concerning everything.


He will give you wisdom 

He will give you strength 

He will grant you favor

To go the furthest lengths.


Encourage yourself like David did 

Trust God…be rest assured 

Through Christ you have the victory

Now and evermore!

1 Samuel 30:6

“And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.” 

Psalms 46:1

“(To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth.) God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
