HIM



“HIM”
 by
Phillip D. Murphy


     The evil around us, so seemingly strong;
Yet when you’re with Him, you’ll sing a new song:
     With all the hate, the end may seem near;
Keep your eyes on Him, He’ll cast away fear:
     Perversion and wickedness for all to behold;
Put your trust in Him, there’ll be peace untold:
     What may seem impossible, with no remedy in sight;
Just give it to Him, He’ll show you His might:
     Anxiety, depression, and confusion you’ll find;
But with Him in your presence, you’ll have a new mind:
     In a world where it seems Satan has so much power;
With Him it all ends, nobody knows the hour.
