There is no treasure
If there is no pressure to spur me on
I rely on God’s strength secure
That has no measure
Like his grace in the dawn
Shines new
In heaven I’ll know
Forever true pleasure
But for now
I must rely on
My joy in God to endure
More refined everyday to be pure
I find pleasure
In every measure of voice
I sing to God
And in every verse
I read and quote
And ponder on and treasure
In my heart
Jesus is in the boat
Making art in me
In the waves of the sea
Perseverance does not happen
In an easy win circumstance
His love is persistent
I’ll be repentant
And let him enhance
My permanent identity in him
Written by my brother Byron Wittwer
I’m so very thankful God blessed me with not only a brother but a brother in Christ! He is an amazing uncle and brothers-in-law who blesses us with his amazing gift of writing music! He can write music on the spot involving all my children crawling and running around him! He truly is a blessing in our life and love his company! We love him so much!
Matthew 19:14“Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;
Hebrew 10:21-25
and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,
the new creation has come:
The old has gone, the new is here!
Luke 2:49-52
“Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?” But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them.
But his mother treasured all these things in her heart.
And Jesus grew in wisdom
and stature,
and in favor with God
and man.
If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
Matthew 8:23-27
Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”
He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
Ephesians 2:4-10
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him. in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Isaiah 64:8-9
Yet you, Lord, are our Father.
We are the clay, you are the potter;
we are all the work of your hand.
Do not be angry beyond measure, Lord;
do not remember our sins forever.
Oh, look on us, we pray,
for we are all your people.
Philippians 4:13
I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Psalm 59:16
But I will sing of your strength,
in the morning I will sing of your love;
for you are my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble.
James 1:12
Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.
Through both joy and pain ,
We transcend grow and gain…
Never say that life has ended in vain ,
All that God sends is a blissful rain ,
Dark clouds water the trees and roses ,
So spirit of God would forever remain ,
To restore life and peacefully sustain ,
After stormy weather , in faith , remain ,
that the blue sky would brightly the sun contain , …
