In Jesus

 

"Do not let your hearts be troubled.
You believe in God; believe in Me as well."
(John 14:27)

Autumn at Apple Hill

Thomas Kinkade

In the world, tribulation; but in Jesus...peace;

The heart of the whirlwind where its roarings cease,

A little home waiting, still and light and warm,

A safe sanctuary from the night and storm.

In the world, tribulation; but in Jesus...rest;

A sure place of refuge for the sore-opprest;

A guarded pavilion no device can take,

A strong-walled fortress no assault can shake.

In the world tribulation; but in Jesus...joy;

A full cup of gladness that can never cloy,

A sweet fountain rising out of Marrah's tide,

A spring of rejoicing that is never dried.

In the world, tribulation; but in Jesus...peace;

A deep, quiet harbor where the high waves cease,

A long-desired haven on a friendly shore,

Where the wild winds of oceans sweep the soul no more.

In the world, tribulation, trials all around,

For on earth no resting and no joys are found;

Let us flee to Jesus where all sorrows cease;

Here alone in gladness, here alone in peace.
