They say my end must be in grief
They knew my soul had cried for life
Oh Lord I know that you can keep
He said "I want to kill the johns"
The saints of christ had jumped the stump
Oh Lord I know that you can keep
Tonight he's come to give a bribe
He's lost the strength to stand the fight
Oh Lord I know that you can keep
Their lies had made me not to rise
And now they want to guide my life
Oh Lord I know that you can keep
The love of God would lift the just
The Lord would run the race for us
Oh Lord I know that you can keep.
This is beautifully written.
Indeed it's only the love of God that can lift the just and make everything right perfect for them. Trusting on men can and will fail but putting your trust on God is the surest.
Very great poem, we must always look for God, in good times and in bad, let's look for God more than men. A hug friend
It's a joy to read.
Sure, only God's love can raise the righteous and make their life wonderful.
