Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. - Hebrews 4:16
 

SAFE HARBOR
 
 I head for my safe harbor
 At the setting of the sun,
 Kneeling at my bedside
 When the day is done.
 
 In Heaven's Throne Room
 I find a resting place,
 And lay out all my troubles
 Before the Throne of Grace.
 
 I thank Jesus for my blessings;
 And though I forget a few,
 He never scolds my ingratitude,
 He just makes my day all new.
 
 I pour out all my heart needs
 Into His loving ear.
 He reaches down to comfort me,
 "My Child, I'm always here.
 
 I will never leave thee;
 Nor, when trials come forsake.
 I'll walk with you through the valley.
 I know the way to take.
 
 Sleep in peace, My Child,
 And at the morning's dawn,
 We'll face the day together.
 I'll help you carry on.
 
 Let not your heart be troubled,
 My peace I give to you.
 Not that trouble will not come;
 But, I will take you through.
 
 When at the end of life's voyage,
 You bid this world "Good Night."
 I'll welcome you to Heaven's Harbor,
 Where everything's made right.”
 
 Good Night, Lord!
