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
