They will have no fear of bad news. Their hearts are steadfast trusting in the Lord
Psalm 112:7 (AMP)
Come what may, our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ, reigns gloriously and forever
upon His majestic throne, eternal and unshaken—
what a radiant and joy-filled truth!
Come what may, our hearts stand firm,
unwavering in trust, anchored in the King of Kings
and Lord of Lords, sovereign over all.
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and never forget the boundless benefits
of His grace and love!

By Holy Spirit’s mighty hand—
A sinner, transformed, reborn anew,
A saint, a royal heir in view!
Salvation, the gift beyond compare,
A treasure trove, so rich, so rare,
For redeemed royals, joy unfolds,
A golden legacy that Heaven holds—
Delights unthought, by Christ designed,
Eternal wonders, pure, refined.
The ultimate gift, above all known,
Salvation reigns, its glory shown!
Bless the Lord, my soul, ascend,
Forget not His benefits, my friend—
Glorious, victorious, ceaseless, vast,
Triumphant grace that ever lasts!

And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
Colossians 2:10 (KJV)
Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
Colossians 1:28 (KJV)

Clothed in righteousness, royal and bright,
Our Savior, King, our guiding light.
Our debts, once vast, are fully paid,
No claim of our own can be made.
In robes of salvation, exquisite, divine,
We’re holy, redeemed, in His design.
Servants royal to the King of Kings,
Our hearts with praise forever sing.
No greater honor could we claim,
Than heirs to Yahweh’s holy name.
Exalt the Lord, above all raised,
His name supreme, forever praised!
We’re His alone, by blood made whole,
Perfect through the cross’s toll.
The risen Christ, soon to reign,
Our costly King, who bore our pain.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, adore,
Forget not His gifts forevermore!

O Lord, we thank Thee for this chance anew,
To turn our nation’s heart to Thee alone,
A gift of grace America holds in view,
That Thou art God, our only cornerstone.
May we, as one, proclaim Thy holy reign,
The land we love beneath Thy sovereign care,
No other lord shall claim our soul’s domain,
For Thou dost rule with mercy rich and rare.
Thy lavish love upon our fields does pour,
A flood of kindness we could ne’er deserve,
We praise Thee, Lord, from shore to shining shore,
Thy will our guide, Thy truth our hearts preserve.
So here we stand, redeemed by grace divine,
One nation blest, forever wholly Thine.

Emmanuel, God with us, the timeless strain,
A song of ages, from dawn to now unfurled,
Through ancient scrolls and modern tongue proclaimed,
A golden thread that binds the weary world.
His name resounds, a gift beyond compare,
Salvation flows through Christ’s redeeming blood,
Pulpits thunder, pages gleam with prayer,
Extolling grace, the Savior’s boundless flood.
Emmanuel has hushed the mourner’s cry,
Stilled trembling hearts with strength divine,
To dying saints, His presence drawing nigh,
A balm for souls where mortal hopes decline.
For the persecuted, bruised yet bold,
Whose pleas stir Heaven’s tearful gaze,
Emmanuel, their fortress unconsoled,
Lifts battle-weary spirits with His rays.
God with us, the anthem of the skies,
Messiah’s melody, both fierce and sweet,
A symphony cascading where faith lies,
Redeemed souls kneel at His majestic feet.
Clothed in robes of gold, with gems arrayed,
The royal redeemed in awe confess,
Emmanuel, our sun, our hearts’ crusade,
In worship, praise, and holy tenderness.
From Genesis’ breath to Revelation’s close,
His promise echoes, steadfast, pure, and grand,
Oh, blessed kin, in royal lineage chose,
With King of Kings, we ever firmly stand!
Shout it loud—Emmanuel, arise!
Sing, scribe, and paint His radiant gleam,
The gift of gifts within our souls enskies,
Restoring life in His eternal stream.
Emmanuel, our battle cry, our psalm,
The angels’ herald, saints’ abiding plea,
God with us, the promise ever calm,
For all who turn, believe, and bend the knee.
Let this motif, triumphant, royal, rare,
Weave through our days, a holy, ceaseless call,
Emmanuel, God with us, beyond compare,
Our song, our strength, our Savior, all in all!

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: that in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:4-11 (KJV)
A marvelous mercy, unending, divine,
Majestic flows from Christ, our Savior-King,
His tender streams, a boundless, sacred vine,
O’erflow where faith and penitence take wing.
No scheming tide, no hidden will restrains,
But lavish love pours forth in boundless grace,
Forgiveness gleams through mercy’s sweet refrains,
Irrevocable once His gift we trace.
To Jesus run, El Rachum, Mercy’s Name,
Compassion’s God, whose heart redeems the lost,
His gentle gaze ignites salvation’s flame,
A glow that crowns the soul at mercy’s cost.
By this alone—His love, His truth, His care—
We step into His royal realm of light,
A kingdom vast, eternal, rich, and rare,
Where grace enthrones the humble in His sight.
Let all reborn in spirit’s holy birth,
Revel beneath His mercy seat sublime,
An imperial throne of splendor on this earth,
Where He adores, welcomes, through endless time.
His mercy falls, a shield, a victor’s song,
Our comfort weaves through every fleeting breath,
Triumph and strength where weary hearts belong,
In Christ, the Word, who conquers sin and death.
What Savior this, who justifies our plea,
Sanctifies, atones, with Heaven’s golden key,
King of Kings, whose mercy sets us free,
Our Lord of Lords, our joy eternally!

All bloom in Christ’s grace at their own pace,
Some swift, some slow, through seasons yet unfurled,
A graceless heart marks stunted, barren space,
A soul un-grown in Jesus, Lord of worlds.
So lift a prayer for those who lag behind,
For lavish grace, once given, richly flows,
A tide unseen, yet mighty to unbind,
To drench their lives where arid hardness grows.
In time, His wealth, a golden mercy’s stream,
Will soak their roots, a flood no drought can stay,
Then freely they’ll pour out that costly gleam,
The grace our Savior sows in patient sway.
With love unbound, He bends to all who kneel,
Who turn, believe, receive His holy spark—
Through faith, His richness makes the graceless heal,
A flourishing gift from Christ’s eternal ark.

A blessed balance, Scripture’s sacred call,
Weaves grace, truth, mercy, love in holy thread,
Yet some chase grace, let gospel’s ramparts fall,
Compromise slinks, a shadow thinly spread.
Others wield truth, a hammer cold and stark,
No mercy flows, no love to lift the load,
Legalism binds, a cruel and crushing mark,
Too vast a yoke for fragile souls bestowed.
Some sing of love, yet mute the righteous flame,
No grace, no truth to guard the narrow way,
O Lord, bestow on saints Thy perfect aim,
A blend divine where all Thy gifts hold sway!
For Christ alone, our Star of flawless gleam,
Exudes this dance—grace pours, yet truth stands tall,
Mercy renews each morn in radiant stream,
Love crowns it all, redeeming every fall.
To Him we run, in Him we bask and grow,
His beauty molds our flawed and yearning clay,
Through knowledge deep, His grace begins to flow,
A fourfold light to guide us day by day!
He, risen King, the Exemplar pure and whole,
Our Source of wisdom, strength, salvation’s song,
May we reflect His traits in every soul,
Small Christs aflame, where His great name belongs.
For Jesus reigns, the Balance without flaw,
King of all kings, with love and truth entwined,
O let us strive, with passion and with awe,
To mirror Him, in heart, in soul, in mind!

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Matthew 5:11-12 (KJV)
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4and patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5and hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Romans 5:3 (KJV)
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Romans 5:22-23 (KJV)
As Christ’s own flame, a fervent heart aflame,
A target gleams upon our backs, so stark—
From lost souls blind, from nominals who claim,
Yet ape the world in dress and worldly mark.
Wolves prowl near, in wool their fangs disguise,
While haters scorn our Savior’s precious name—
May every dart, each stone, each hateful guise,
Stoke passion fierce for Christ, our endless flame!
Let slander’s sting, persecution’s roar,
Become our badge, a holy honor worn,
Each lie a seed, blessed beneath the core,
That blooms to gold, where Spirit’s fruit is born!
Thorns prick here, and tears may carve their stream,
Yet Heaven turns them crowns of radiant glee—
We stand unbowed, in Jesus’ light supreme,
Rejoicing still, till face to face we see!
