Trusting God

He Will Stand By Me

I pray that these verses which reflected the cry of my heart as I passed through a dark time in my life a couple of years ago may be a comfort and assurance for you today.

Every time I knock Every time I come

Every time I seek at Your royal throne

Every time I ask with an honest prayer

I know You’re listening

I know You’re standing near

Every time I cry O Father I’m alone

I hear Your gentle voice singing out a song

So when the storm winds rise

And I face the raging sea

I will trust You Lord

That You will stand by me!
