“Whether I live or die, whether I wake or sleep, whether upon the land or on the stormy deep; When ‘tis serene and calm or when the wild winds blow, I shall not be afraid. I am the Lord’s, I know . . .
Nothing shall separate from His unbounded love, neither in depths below nor in the heights above; And in the years to come, He will abide with me; I am the Lord’s, I know, for all eternity.”
So read two of the verses from Charles W. Naylor’s hymn, I Am the Lord’s, I Know with music by D. Otis Teasley. Based on Romans 8:35 – 39, the gentle melody brings a comforting peace to both the singer and the hearer. We are reminded of the continuing care of God for us. We cannot be separated by any external force or circumstance from God’s inexhaustible love for us in Jesus Christ our Lord. Whether we have much or little, whether we are accepted or rejected by the world around us, whether we feel high or low emotionally, we know that we belong to the Lord and we know He will love and care for us now and for eternity. I am the Lord’s, I know.
