God Holds The Key

GOD HOLDS THE KEY

by HELEN STEINER RICE



GOD IN HIS GOODNESS HAS PROMISED THAT
THE CROSS HE GIVES US TO WEAR WILL
NEVER EXCEED OUR ENDURANCE
OR BE MORE THAN OUR STRENGTH CAN BEAR...
AND SECURE IN THAT BLESSED ASSURANCE,
WE CAN SMILE AS WE FACE TOMORROW,
FOR GOD HOLDS THE KEY TO THE FUTURE,
AND NO SORROW OR CARE NEED WE BORROW!



EVERY MILE WE WALK IN SORROW
BRINGS US NEARER TO GOD'S TOMORROW!

I WILL BLESS THE LORD AT ALL TIMES;
HIS PRAISE SHALL
CONTINUALLY BE IN MY MOUTH.
MY SOUL SHALL MAKE ITS
BOAST IN THE LORD;
THE HUMBLE SHALL HEAR IT
AND REJOICE.
