He who began a good work in you
He who began a good work in you
Will be faithful to complete it
He'll be faithful to complete it
He who started the work
Will be faithful to complete it in you

If the struggle you're facing
Is slowly replacing
Your hope with despair
Or the process is long
And you're losing your song
In the night 
You can be sure
That the Lord has His hand on you
Safe and secure
He will never abandon you
You are His treasure
And He finds His pleasure in you

He who began a good work in you
He who began a good work in you
Will be faithful to complete it
He'll be faithful to complete it
He who started the work
Will be faithful to complete it in you

The ability to care
The ability to share your life 
Is the hallmark you know Christ

To see the other’s need
To hear their heart’s plea
And then pick up your cross
And take heed –
This is beauty

The days of thy sojourning in thy weary wilderness
The days of thy mourning in thy times of great distress
Are over are over.
For you are now called “Sought Out” 
Who once was called “Forsaken” 
You are now called “Married” 
Who was abandoned and not taken
No more will you be desolate
No more will you be upset
But now you shall not forget –
My delight is in you It’s you I’m married to
My Holy people, My redeemed
Things are not as they’ve seemed
But are becoming as you have dreamed
You shall be satisfied with the fatness of the land 
I’ve brought you to 
And My Peace, like a River, in this land will flow through
And I will gather all nations and tongues
That they may see the Glory of My Holy One
And your seed and your name
Before Me shall always remain
And the most low
shall dwell with the Most High
and all tears shall be wiped from their eyes…

Child, why struggle so?
Have you not been told?
If I carried you upon the Tree,
will I not now carry thee?
Will I abandon you,
the one I love more than my own life?
Will I fail to draw you to my side
when I appear in the sky?
My precious beloved -
my eyes are upon you,
my heart belongs to you,
oh lovely one,
my dove, my bride,
the apple of my eye.
Should you waver or begin to doubt
remember this truth -
I will never leave you or forsake you.
Trust me, my child, my love,
the stench of this world will not be found
upon the garments my beloved wears,
for she wears robes of righteousness
dipped in my blood made Holy
for me, my only love.....

 Because David's heart smote him, Saul's wrath never did.   For David's wrath was directed against himself  -    while Saul'...
