A Special Psalm

A SPECIAL PSALM Psalms through the years have been precious to me, Like Psalm 100 or Psalm 23, The Psalm on the Bible, number 119, Psalm 1 tells the Christian how to be “evergreen.” But the one that’s been special for the years quite a few Has been in Psalm 40 and verse number two. For I look at my life and where I have been— The horrible pit of sin I was in, The fact that I knew right, but still I did stray And I ended up in the miry clay. Yet Jesus still loved me and reached out His hand And lifted me up from that sinking sand. He then set my feet upon a new ground— The rock of salvation that in Him I found. Now when I’m discouraged and shadowed by doubt, I remember that verse and how He lifted me out. Then I know there is hope for a man such as I; It brings peace to my heart, with the tears I will cry. Yes, Psalm 40 verse two is my life verse today, So special to me in so many ways.
