The Real Deal

I know that my Savior lives,
I'm trusting in His plan,
and though it may seem trite and fake,
Its just the way I am.

Some may never understand
the hope I feel inside.
Its just as real as all the mess
around us world-wide.

Jesus is the bread of LIFE
and to live with Him brings peace.
In the midst of all the ugliness
His beauty I choose to see.

His Word will feed me every day
as I look to fill the gap
of the emptiness that comes when I
try filing with things that lack.

This poem I know is kind of dumb
but I don't know how else to explain.
Jesus is with me all the time
and gives joy when I call on His name.

For 28 years He's been by my side
leading, guiding, helping,
and I'm so thankful for all He's done -
forever I'll be praising!

So...
if you're looking for gloom or hopeless despair
you're facing the wrong direction
cuz from where I stand there's nothing but hope
and a promise of future perfection!

"And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment, so also Christ died once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him."
Hebrews 9:27-28
