"Formed into His Image"

Romans 5:3-5 - ...we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

Bang, bang, bang

going off in my head

As motionless I lay

on the MRI bed.

Taking image after image

I briefly wonder if I'm dead

But quickly I dismiss it

and sing songs of God instead.

It's a song of how He is my source

and how He is my strength

And how I Iift my hands in praise

and He fills me with faith.

It is Christ I am believing

as each step He'd have me take

With total trust in Father

even as I wait.

My Father brings me comfort

He lifts me when I despair

He's my consolation

so later I might care

For someome else in trouble

that a shoulder I might lend

Strong, that is in Jesus

in Him to be a friend.
