(Secrets of Victory) 14. What God Did for jesus....
1. When bowed with burdens and with care, Your soul is in despair; You don't have to fear, God is very near. He loves you as He loved His Son And He will help you too; Just trust His word of promise And He will see you through. This is the good news - what God can do; What He's done for Jesus He'll do for you; With mighty power He'll strengthen you; There is no end to what God can do. 2. Though sin and evil fill this world And you are overcome; Yet God's Word is true - "Sin can't reign o'er you." And when temptations's pull is strong God's grace will be your stay; So you can walk like Jesus In vict'ry every day. 3. When pain and sickness come to you And touch your loved ones too, God knows how you feel - He has power to heal. Your Father will provide your need - He's faithful and He's true; And as He cared for Jesus He will care for you. 4. O what a glorious comfort this - If you have come to know Jesus as your Lord And Elder Brother too. For all God has is now your own And He won't let you go; And now that God is for you Who can be your foe? - Zac Poonen
