They Follow Me

These important aspects, In living the way, And being what God wants Me to be. In whatever circumstance, I choose to dance, Shout, and say amen, Because goodness, And mercy, Continuously, Follow me. No matter, What plans, The enemy has for me. No matter what, I receive, In funds for my work. No matter, How others, Frown at me, And make ugly smirks. I choose to continue, To do God’s work, Because I want to, Dwell in the house, Of the Lord forever, Not with Satan, In Hell. So what if you or Satan, Despise me, The Lord, Will prepare, A blessing on the, Table in the presence, Of my enemies. The more I do, For righteousness sake, The more the Lord, Will put on my plate. So Satan hate me, I don’t care. I’m doing what, My Father says, He said in, His word that, Goodness and mercy, Shall follow me, All of the days, Of my life. Because He is my shepherd, I shall not want. For He made me lay down, in the green pastures, Of Northeast Louisiana. He led me beside the still waters, And down the Mississippi, And is leading me continuously. He restored my soul, Here in South Louisiana, And He’s still restoring me. I have walked and, I am walking, Through, The valley of, The shadows, Of death. I’ve feared no, And will fear no, Evil because, God has not, Given His child, A spirit of fear. He brought me here. He’s keeping me. And I’m here because, I want to be here. He anointed my head, With the oil of my gifts, To serve Him and the, Kingdom of God with From your human, Eyes you may, Think my life is the pits. But I’m living in my destiny, And I’m loving it. Psalm 23 is, A passage of scriptures, That is dear to me, And one of the first, That came to my memory, As a child, I knew the verses by hard. But now that I’m living, Life as an adult by far, With some making, Fun of me. For the Lord, I’m still working. They may not know, That they are being used, By the enemy. Keep making fun, Of me. I’m where He wants me to be, Along with you, And the enemy, Persecuting me, I’m as happy as Can be because, God’s goodness, And mercy, They follow me. wrote 7-27-10 Psalms 23:1-6
