Living Psalm

I absorb your amazing As I struggle to grow My spirit is so excited Still my heartbeat does slow For I finally understand The reason you are calm You’re more than a parable You are a living psalm God in human form Not one to deceive Miracles at your hand Yet so few of us believe My faith is so small There is much to forgive My choices are many in this world that I live So I hand it to you This burden so large Because I only have stress When I am in charge Your yoke is not heavy You know all I need I follow your footprints As you take the lead My light in the darkness You fulfill each desire The path to your Kingdom Takes me higher and higher.

Oh my goodness, this is so powerfully, breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL. If ever I have read anything that would make me want to bow down before Him in worship (and I have!!), this is one of them. How amazing. I love this.

One can do no better than to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. Say what you want about organized religion but Jesus is my guy, Well penned. Have a great day my friend.
