The power of contentment is a strong force,

composed of the sense of inward sufficiency;

for we’ve been promised the strength to succeed

when we open spiritual eyes and dare to see…

His divine plan of grace and abundance for us.

Christ, the Alpha and Omega, beginning and end,

demonstrated His Love with actions at Calvary,

giving us the privilege to be called His friend.

We should not be worried about personal needs,

for we’ve been equipped to…

O my Lord, I am not concerned,

with things that do not involve me.

Let all forms of pride or haughtiness,

be set aside and permanently forgotten.

Let me bask under Your righteousness.

O my Lord, I am not concerned,

with silly, worldly desires of vanity,

from the eternal Love of my Lord.

No possible form of earthly trouble,

can take away Salvation’s reward.

The times of tribulations will pass,

be it suffering, calamity or distress.

Christ’s seed of righteousness in me,

brings forth the joy of sacred rest.

With my faith, I will persevere,

moving through today’s affliction.

Since I belong to Him, victory is…

already promised, under His horizon.
