A Lost Sheep In Godly Sleep

Inspired by Psalms 23:1-6 (enjoy, poets!!) : v. 1-3 I’m a lost sheep, hoping for a godly sleep LONGING for a delightful sleep In search of my beloved shepherd… I was willing to pray for some rewards to reap To pray for a heavenly dream… Not a frightening nightmare…or I’ll scream! Now, I’m satisfied With godly sleep I lie my head down In green pastures That’s where I seek God’s comfort… The paths of righteousness Renews my faithfulness v. 4-6 I’m passing through the shadow of death… In yield of Your staff The Lord whispers in my ear gently: “Fear no evil, for I’m with you!” To pick me up from the ground… And heal me…I’m trying my best Let me have a moment’s rest In search of Your Promise Land…Your nest Fill my cup with Your mercy And give me a piece of your serenity… A taste of sincerity...a slice of sensibility... A flavor of integrity... I beg You to take care of me… And hand me a portion of eternal glee You are my kindhearted, generous shepherd My comforter…my reliever My God…I’m most certainly YOUR believer You aren’t a deceiver… I was once a downright nonbeliever You are MY awesome God I’m strengthened and comforted by Your rod! I’m walking Your narrow path of mercy and goodness… I’m dwelling in God’s house~ I was once a lost sheep Mourning night after night… I used to forlorn day after day I’m alarmed and I’m yearning for Your light Your might…Your delight To get through my plight…to fight the good fight I used to weep bitterly in dismay I was once a lost sheep But, now I’m enjoying my godly sleep I’m skipping to and fro In God’s green pastures…I lie… I sing …I grow…I wander off…I fly… I float…in God’s still waters – His PEACE will never die! He lifts me up on cloud nine I’m a lost sheep in godly sleep He nurtures me like His child – I’m feelin’ fine I’m a joyful sheep in godly sleep
