Promises

Do we trust our God? Are His promises true?
I question my lot when I’ve claimed a few.
The results aren’t there when I expect them to be.
Did the devil succeed; maybe I’m too blind to see.

Is it me O Lord that has failed to believe?
Your deliverance and guidance I want to receive.
I have heard that you cannot begin to lie.
But the results I see make me want to sigh.

The times you have failed I see not one.
My confidence builds knowing I am your son.
Your word rings true as I hear it taught.
My heart is pricked as the battle is fought.

My mind races to blame but joy fills my thoughts
Your faithfulness continues the devil takes his shots.
I ask your forgiveness for my foolish mistake.
Accusing my God what more could I take.

Eternity will show His sweet love has won.
Patience, a virtue you have learned my son.
Rise up today and see His promise unfold.
The integrity of His word, as pure as gold.
