My Hope Is In the Lord
Donald Cantrell
Psalms 39:4-7
Theme: Jesus is my hope, for without him there is no hope
Psa 39:4 KJV - LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it [is; that] I may know how frail I [am].
Psa 39:5 KJV - Behold, thou hast made my days [as] an handbreadth; and mine age [is] as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state [is] altogether vanity. Selah.
Psa 39:6 KJV - Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up [riches], and knoweth not who shall gather them.
Psa 39:7 KJV - And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope [is] in thee.
