You Are Not Alone

"Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." - St. John 16:32-33

Dear Friends,

As a young Christian there was a song I used to play over and over. I had it on a 45 vinyl disc. The song "Never Alone" was first published in 1895 and the author is unknown.   I played the song so much that listening to it became a part of my daily routine.  The words of the song reinforced the truth I heard preached and taught from scripture -- Jesus promised NEVER to leave me alone.

Whether on the mountain or in the valley.  If you are in celebration or a time of sorrow, you are never alone.  This is a promise Jesus has given to us, He will never leave us alone.

May the words to the song bless your soul.

in Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

1. I’ve seen the lightning flashing,
   And heard the thunder roll,
   I’ve felt sin’s breakers dashing,
   Trying to conquer my soul;
   I’ve heard the voice of Jesus,
   Telling me still to fight on,
   He promised never to leave me,
   Never to leave me alone.
   • Refrain:
     No, never alone,
     No, never alone,
     He promised never to leave me,
     Never to leave me alone.
2. The world’s fierce winds are blowing,
   Temptation’s sharp and keen,
   I have a peace in knowing
   My Savior stands between—
   He stands to shield me from danger,
   When earthly friends are gone,
   He promised never to leave me,
   Never to leave me alone.
3. When in affliction’s valley
   I’m treading the road of care,
   My Savior helps me to carry
   My cross when heavy to bear,
   Though all around me is darkness,
   Earthly joys all flown;
   My Savior whispers His promise,
   “I never will leave thee alone.”
4. He died for me on the mountain,
   For me they pierced His side,
   For me He opened the fountain,
   The crimson, cleansing tide;
   For me He’s waiting in glory,
   Seated upon His throne,
   He promised never to leave me,
   Never to leave me alone.
