In all the evil happening that is going on in the world at this time I want to share a hymn I saw on Truth For Life blog.  The hymn was written by John Newton (1725-1807).  

Newton was a profane seaman and a slave trader who was converted during a storm at sea that threatened his life.  He is the writer also of the hymn “Amazing Grace” and a great many others. 

“I WILL TRUST AND NOT BE AFRAID”
Begone, unbelief,
My Saviour is near,
And for my relief
Will surely appear;
By prayer let me wrestle,
And he will perform;
With Christ in the vessel,
I smile at the storm.  

Though dark be my way,
Since he is my guide,
‘Tis mine to obey,
‘Tis his to provide;
Though cisterns be broken
And creatures all fail,
The word he has spoken
Will surely prevail.

His love in time past
Forbids me to think
He’ll leave me at last
In trouble to sink;
Each sweet Ebenezer
I have in review
Confirms his good pleasure
To help me quite through.

Since all that I meet
Shall work for my good,
The bitter is sweet,
The medicine food;
Though painful at present,
‘Twill cease before long,
And then O how pleasant
The conqueror’s song!

We rejoice in our Precious Lord and Savior Jesus who is always with us! Never alone!  Hallelujah!  Amen
