Jesus, I Need No Other Sign--Oct. 24, 2016

[From Oct. 29, 2012 archive]

Lord Jesus, I need no other sign from heaven.

I trust you, pour out my heart before you.

When out of the belly of Sheol I cried,

you heard me, you answered me.

In distress, you are my refuge.

When the beast comes up from the

bottomless pit to conquer and kill me,

yet will I trust you, for you are my refuge.
