Strong is my Lord Jesus' hand
And He will forever hold me.
He who gave me all He had,
Why should He ever forsake me?
Christ will ne'er abandon me,
That shall my assurance be.
Should my faint heart fear some harm,
Or my worries overcome me,
Jesus reaches out His arm,
Jesus leads the weak to vic'try.
That God's love defendeth me
That shall my assurance be.
Judgement I no longer fear -
Christ has advocated for me.
Even when temptation's near,
Christ has prayed already for me.
That my Saviour speaks for me
That shall my assurance be.
Nothing tears me from His hand!
Who can steal this comfort from me?
By this faith I'll firmly stand,
For my Lord this promise gave me:
Christ holds me eternally;
That shall my assurance be.
By Carl Bernhard Garve, 1825

The One I love
O Lord, You are clothed in beauty, glory and majesty.
Your smile is the sunshine lighting up the world.
Your voice is the sound of waves on the shore.
Your laughter is the loveliest of music.
Your footsteps are heralds of peace.
Your hands are instruments of healing.
Your mind is the source of wisdom.
Your heart is the wellspring from which all love flows.
Your arms are my safe haven.
By Your side is where I long to be.
Your love is my strength.
Your presence is the only place where there is joy.
You are a blanket giving warmth and security
You are the rain giving freshness and life
You are the sun giving light and hope
You are

Jesus Christ, my Savior
Lovely rain, lovely rain
Falls on your face
Lovely face, lonely face was wet
Before the rain,
This rain will wash away your tears, your fears,
At last, for first you will be free! All your nightmares will disappear!
All your doubts are crashed and gone!
Your Faith has found the New Door,
Which name Is Jesus!
Hallelujah~ Hallelujah~ Hallelujah~
He is our Savior, Hope, Faith and Love!
Lord, Your words are light to my feet,
And I'll walk in that light, in the land of the Living!
Hallelujah~ Hallelujah~ Hallelujah~ Hallelujah~
I am New Creation in Jesus Christ! Amen!

Guard your heart
How I love to watch you grow and take risks! As you're maturing, you want to stretch, test your wings, make decisions for yourself. You want to run ahead and experience new things that will add richness to your life. I understand all of these desires, child. But in the process, I want you to also grow in grace and faith, and in your knowledge of me.
So guard your heart. Be wise, be careful, be pure. As you experience the exciting new things life has to offer, establish good boundaries around yourself. Resist temptation and draw near to me. Let my wisdom keep you safe.
I have given you promises and commands that will protect you. Write them

THIS IS NOT BY ME. (I just translated it is all.)
Original German by C.B. Garve
This is one of my favourite hymns on earth and because I love it so much and wanted people to see it, and most of said people are not perfectly versed in German, I decided to translate it. Which was not easy (because I'm usually too lazy to rhyme, and this one had a nice ababcc).
Yesterday I was feeling terrible because of temptations and problems again and (as happens often) I started wondering whether God had ditched me (He has enough reason to lol), but all day really I kept remembering the first verse of this hymn. Then in the evening I was really frustrated and I remembered it again. I looked for the hymn to read the full words, and listened to it. And I just felt assurance again.
Anyway this is for you! So that you can also read these very comforting words that have helped me. Though I assure you the German is way better and no doubt other people would have been better at translating.
