Lasting

 "The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you."   
            ~ Jeremiah 31:3 (NKJV) (The Holy Bible) 

Lasting love from above
   was seen on the Cross
Jesus died, crucified
   Love note sent across

Forgiven, I'm driven
   to share lasting joy
Sin and doubt blotted out
   Peace none can destroy

Broadcasting faith lasting
   I am God's child now
He is mine, love divine
   Mercy on my brow

Lasting hope helps me cope
   He's my strong refuge
Lasting peace, troubles* cease
   Bathed in grace deluge



*troubled heart
