Hymn "God will take care of you" - W.S. Martin
V1.
Be not dismayed what-e'er be-tide, God will take care of you;
Beneath His wings of love abide, God will take care of you.
Chorus
God will take care of you, thru every day, O'er all the way;
He will take care of you, God will take Care of You.
V2.
Thro days of toil, when heart doth fail, God will take care of you;
When dangers fierce your path assail, God will take care of you.
V3.
All you may need He will provide, God will take care of you;
Nothing you ask will be denied, God will take care of you.
V4.
No matter what may be the test, God will take care of you;
Lean, weary one, upon his breast, God will take care of you.
A hymn declaring the providence of God when we are in desperate situations. God will provide our needs if we first trust and abide in Him. Dangerous winds now approach our shores, and there is much happening in the world today where Christian brothers and sisters are being arrested, persecuted, and put into bondage for Christ sake.

My Hope is Built
"My Hope is built on nothing less, Than Jesus' blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus name. On Christ the solid Rock, I stand; all other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand." - My Hope is built - Verse 1 by William B. Bradbury.
Each day we move forward in our lives as Christians, and our greatest struggle might be the fact we don't truly trust Christ. What part of our lives are we not giving continual thankful praise to God? Do you thank your Heavenly Father when you wake from your slumber, do you thank him for your health, for the air you breath? Do we trust Him for each step we make? Do we see each choice as a petition for prayer? How much can we trust God to provide for our every need? We've failed on this so many times.
Our heavenly father has provided us with immense blessings, what is our hope built upon? The song by William Bradbury asks that exact question... What is it built on? On nothing less, than Jesus Blood and Righteousness. We should be thankful, extremely thankful, that Christ has paid Our debt, if you place your trust in Him. Our righteousness is built upon Jesus' work on the cross, taking on our punishment. I dare not trust any other sweet sounding scheme, because it's totally on Jesus name we need to lean. The Chorus says it all... Jesus is the Solid Rock, all other ground is sinking sand!
Hope placed in Christ alone will provide a solid foundation to live a life. It doesn't mean we won't suffer, but it does mean our suffering will be used to build the Kingdom of God. Tough times are ahead and there is no reason to trust the things that are fads, that fade with time, and have no true meaning.
